Well I have a integrated RWA sig. 30.2 connected to my audio-gd 19mk3 dac running from my computer.
My problem is that even on the lowest volume in foobar the sound levels are quite high, so I need a volume control. And since I live in Denmark I thought it would be easier to build a passive volume control than having my amp sent to the US and back, and most likely also a lot cheaper
But I am new to DIY, so need a bit of advise.
I know that a passive volume control is easy to make, I have already ordered a case (small Hifi2000 case) and the connectors (neutrik) and a knob (big 40mm alu)
Now what I am not sure of is what value attenuator (10,20 or 50k) to use and what brand, I have been looking at Khozmo (100usd), Goldpoint (100usd) and the Dact ct2 (150usd).
What would you recommend?
The output impedance of my dac is 20ohm.
Secondly what kind of wire should I go for?
I have been looking at Kimber TCSS 19 AWG.
Thanx guys
