That's a very good point! I'll look into how many dBs I can reduce by... It just doesn't sound as good that way or maybe I'm just convincing myself it's bad
Do I need a more powerful amp/dac? I have a senn hd650 and have it cranked up all the way and it's loud but I want it to be louder. Any audio gd recommendations for more juice but the same sound?
How is that possible? At 25% it's more than loud enough for me with the HD650. I'd be going dead at 40-50% on fire volume know. Are you sure your music player and system settings have the correct volume?
Maybe his source has a weaker power output. Like a phone, portable player, anything that runs off a battery, etc.
I thought he meant having to turn the volume know to max on his current audio gd amp. He's asking for another audio gd with same sound signature but more power.
Finally my audio gd nfb 11 made his way to my desk! It sounds very good!!! for my tastes at least, but the pop sound and the loss of the first two seconds when changing tracks(yourself) made me grin my teeth.
But wait! here's the solution!

Install this and in foobar preferences - playback - DSP manager-chose affix silence.
Configure it so it has silence before (milliseconds) 2000 and silence after (milliseconds) 0.
This solved my nitpick with this awesome amp/dac unit.
Hope it'll help.
The VIA engineers informed us that the VIA chip only supports Linux on X86 chipsets and not on ARM chipsets.
Thanks all for your help and advice.
Does it mean the new VIA VT 1731 isn't able to support ARM Linux based computers (plugcomputers or NAS) ?
If yes, why not using XMOS chip wich works well on any device ?
I wonder that as well, since like you said has wide range of support. It shouldn't be too hard to make a adapter like the VIA and place the xmos chip on it, since the Usb chip is replaceable. Unless there's more to it then just doing that.
