BR-20 volume control in MM
« on: 18 Mar 2023, 11:59 pm »
Hello I noticed I can control the volume from MM media player: does this affect the sound quality? I mean does it operate at digital level or is it exactly as using the remote control or rotating the knob? Thanks for any clarification.

Hi Alan

Its a great feature in MM and does not affect the audio signal path at all.

Thanks, I thought it could be some kind of digital attenuator.

@James: I thought that you or someone else from Bryston had mentioned earlier that using the digital volume control in MM would reduce the resolution of the signal? :scratch:

It just controls the analog volume control in the BR20 (only) remotely through software-  it does not add any circuitry.

Ah! Perhaps I was thinking of the software volume control in MM on a BDP-3. :duh:
