OK i got a new pair of powered studio monitors last night - :DYorkville YSM1p - and a basic D/A to feed them. At 3.45 AM in my basment suite i finally got everything setup and loaded a file into CEP for test playback. Shy I pressed play and BAM, it was so loud i scrambled for the stop button and shut it off, and with ears ringing could hear people upstairs getting up and walking around wondering what happened and where. :O

Ok.. i momentarily forgot that even with the speaker gain trims at the minimum -6db [phhhht!], the full output of the D/A goes to the speakers at full digital scale output from CEP!

So now unless i can find a suitable D/A with analog out level adjust, i have to run digital out from CEP at minus many db in order to get the volume to a reasonable low level.

Anyway does anyone know of a decent stereo spdif D/A with a full range output knob?
