So, I question I have is that after hooking up the i-20 to my DACmagic via Coax (I need to buy another TOSlink cable) is that the i-20 does volume control.
I've noticed this as well from my Mac Pro -> DACmagic. *edit* (actually, no volume control from system volume, just iTunes volume control)
Is this normal? I realize digital is digital, but the fact that you're pre-amplifying the singal on the unit (i.e. adjustable level control) this can adversely affect the audio?? It's like running your preamp too low and having to run your amp hot and you get clipping.
Wadia transport does not have volume control.
Is this all semantics?
