...for use with my computer setup. i'm currently using the volume up/down controls on my keyboard...bad i know...something about bit rate reduction? can someone explain this to me? i googled for info on it but couldn't find what i was looking for.
anyway, the impetus for this upgrade is a potential keyboard purchase which probably will not have volume controls, along with the realization that my current setup is rudimentary at best. basically i just need something with a (passive?) volume pot to control my volume level. the setup will go like this:
motherboard coax output -> DAC -> RCA to volume pot -> RCA to XLR to the BM5a
one contender i've found is this thing by NHT: NHT - PVC - PC - Passive Volume Control-Audio Advisor
it would probably be adequate, but i'm just wondering if there's anything cheaper that would function in a similar fashion. i'd like to spend $50-75 is possible...
