My portable rig consists of a 5g Ipod/ALO Cryodock/Hornet(m) in a gigabag. This setup is nice and compact but I find it a little tricky to reach in with 2 fingers and adjust the volume on the Hornet. Since the level of CDs varies significantly I find myself continously needing to adjust the volume to get a satisfying level which is not to loud. For that reason the soundcheck feature of the Ipod is appealing. I can set the volume once and don't have to keep making adjustments. ? I suspect the stock variable out on the Ipod utilizes digital volume control and clearly one can get away with some without paying a sonic price. My instinct is that the small amount of digital attenuation/gain that might be applied to equilize all the CDs is probably relatively benign but of course I could be wrong. Any opinions on the sonic impact or issues I should be aware of?
