Me again,

I just noticed if you disable the Meridian comms box in Config, the volume changes from 0-100 to dB.(-n to 0db).
With the fixed analog output I thought some Hot CD's were clipping on the F80. Hopefully this all goes away now.

Through the summer I will move the MC200 into the conservatory permanently and use the digital out.
Will the F80 take 96Khz in via optical?

Just as a thought, this analog into the F80 has had it sounding better that it has ever sounded IMHO.
Cheers, Chris smile
