| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yes, if the control is wide-open, or at least above a certain level, there is no loss in resolution. Assuming you were able to use/keep the DVC at a level above which there was no loss in resolution, would there be a benefit in using the LSA? | |

| Is there any mini-jack converter for the Mac Mini I also forgot to mention that there are devices on the market that will convert the USB output from your Mini to an RCA type connection. Trends Audio and Bel Canto both make this type of converter. | |
| Is there any mini-jack converter for the Mac Mini I have a Mac Mini also. . .Assuming your DAC has an optical input, there's a mini-Toslink to Toslink adapater made by Audioquest and available from Music Direct for about $5. You would then use a standard Toslink cable. Or, you could go with a sin... | |
