Fiio E17 , lower gain when playing 96k 24 bit songs?
I notice that when I play 24 bit 96 k flac files in songbird (mac) connected usb the gain is much lower so I have to raise the volume on the fiio e17. When I put a cd and play it from the same input (usb) the gain is much higher. Can anyone explain what's wrong here?- Phono Groove
