Thank you for this seigen. You have effectively explained what I could not determine in two weeks of searching.
Here is what Lavry says about attenuation in their DACs. From the Lavry Engineering site:
" Like the highly acclaimed LavryBlack DA10, the DA11 offers extreme transparency and musicality in DA conversion with the ability to control speaker volume using digitally controlled ANALOG volume circuitry. This allows the DA11 to be connected directly to a power amp or powered monitors without a preamp for the ultimate in “straight-wire” listening. With unparalleled precision in channel matching throughout the volume range, this feature allows the listener to easily reset the volume to a known level for consistent enjoyment with minimal signal degradation. "
Does any other company produce a dac with the similar layout of a digitally controlled analog volume circuit? And ---- does it matter, in the event that it ever did?
