    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    Well, I just pulled the trigger and ordered GA TRP balanced with VC. I’m trying to decide on the extra digital input......Toslink ( HT integration) or AES. My question is whether there is a discernible difference between usb, spdif and aes on the DAC or is it source dependent?

    Spectral DMC-30 SV

    I see the 30SV has a user selectable gain setting of 15 or 21db for each input. Does anyone know the factory default setting? Is there an optimum range of volume control (ie 35-55% or 60-80%) for normal listening or is it equal across the board?
