If you're handy with the ol soldering iron, have you considered building a cheap impedance adapter? Two resistors and an extension cord will set you back less than $3 - even a boutique one with good parts would be less than $15. It can change the sound a bit though, maybe a little rolled off trouble - depends how much you need to attenuate.

Since the uDac does not react to master volume settings in windows (xp or vista), and I don't really like wasting bits anyway, this is kind of a problem. Cheers, Sune |
