…for digital inputs they show aes,spdif,toslink and bada,which i understand is for use with the rr hrx 24/176?.

Which is just one line in, not multiple lines in. Also the have changed the 24/176 to 24/192

also there is no clear indication that the attenuation is achieved in the digital domain.

Digital attenuation and balance control: 0.1dB/step with .05dB/step trim, 60dB range

i talked to mr. ritter about this product and he claims it is in the same league of performance as the pacific microsonics.

Isn’t it what he suppose to be saying? Anyhow, the digital attenuation is something that I do not like in Pacific Microsonics I it just too auditable when I engage it. If the Moron broadcast a program with one level up or down for 2dB (as they frequently do) then what should I do on Pacific? It has gain change on ADC but it is via jumpers on the back of the unit – very inconvenient. Lavry AD122 – the save level ADC but it has small analog trimmers at front panel. Anyhow, I would like to learn if it is possible to defeat this digital attenuation in the Berkeley's DAC
