(I put this here as it might be a great tweek but I've not tried them yet, therefore they're not in my system).
Can anyone tell me the deal about these things please?
All of my audio is PC based and comes through my M-dac (Which is known for being loud). My volume never really goes past 11 on my system and that levels really belting it! According to some, that means I've got too much gain in my system. Do I need to use attenuators?
The reason I ask is, if all they do is make my volume less sensitive (or restore the full range as it were) then I'm not really that bothered. If however it's going to affect SQ, then I'd say it's worth investing.
Also, as they do they as they say on the tin, doesn't it mean that fitting them would mean my amp would have to work harder than ever to reach the same volume levels I'm used to without having them fitted?
