Quote:     I think You are wrong !   The PWD volume control based on WM8741's Volume implementation.   And according to Wolfson's answer it's 24bit.     Quote:

OK, I found it: Steps 40 - 100 are 0.5dB each ( 0dB to -30dB Attenuation) Seps 10 - 39 are 1.0dB each ( -31dB to -60dB Attenuation) Steps 0 - 9 are 2.0dB each ( -62dB to -80dB Attenuation) Now, it's perfectly fits :) ...

Why ? It depends on the resolution of the input signal. The WM8741's digital volume work on 24bit domain.

It's not a good idea to use the volume under 75. I can easily hear the losing of details, and soundstage reduction, especially under 50  ...

Quote: True. But it works like standard sound card / DAC and eliminates the benefits of UPNP.

Quote: The WA22 have a balanced tubes circuit, but single ended secondary of it's out transformer, so there will NOT be any advantages in using the balanced cable.

A new (stable) version of 'PerfectWave DAC Controller', version 2.0, has been released. https://sourceforge.net/projects/pwdcontrol/ To improve performance, it now uses the UPnP interface, to communicate with PWD.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pwdcontrol/   My software to control the PWD from Windows based PC via Bridge, and You're welcome to try it.   Later, I'll add source library for those who want to write his own UI. Although it is a beta, I think it's pretty stable and safe, just...

Quote:   Agree! I also, sometimes, use the EQ, to soften the sound in the 6K range. My current PWDII usually handles in this field well. For my prev. DAC it was really necessary.
