Best Gain setting on 06 Micro Amp for AKG K701s?

[MoNelly]

I know, I know--the answer is whatever sounds best to me.

But I'm curious if the folks at HeadRoom--or any owners of this combination--have a "preferred" setting for this combination?

Also, does anyone have a preference between optical and USB input on the 06 Micro DAC?

Thanks!

I don;t know if a preferred gain setting has emerged, but I use the middle setting mostly.

I think it's pretty clear that people prefer digital ins over USB.
