laptop + M-Audio Audiophile USB

I'm also using the M-Audio box with very good results in the final CD-R product as heard on my Arcam Alpha 9.

However, the M-Audio has no way to attenuate the signal at the analog input, so I have to take the output from the preamp-out of my Bryston B-6OP rather than the tape out (to avoid clipping on some Lps). This is rather inconvenient as using the headphone jack on the B-60 shuts off the output from the preamp!

I do all my recording at 16bit/44.1kHz, since I don't believe there would be any benefit to recording at, say, 24bit/88.2kHz first and rendering to 16bit/44.1kHz (unless,possibly, some noise shaping algorithm is applied), but I haven't tested this hypothesis.
