Gain usually refers to the output of the headphone jack, not the line-outputs.I can't recall if this has been asked and answered, but when using NFB11.32 as a DAC only (Fixed output) the gain settings are active. Of course system synergies are important here, but generally I find High gain provides the better quality output, assuming it's not too hot for the amp. Is this a matter of personal preference or is there a technical reason for choosing one over the other? As an example, low gain works better with my Slee Ultra Linear to my ears, whereas I definitely prefer high gain with the others. Also, can anyone remind me of the output voltages for low and high gain on fixed out? I seem to recall 1V and 2.5V respectively?
The 11.32 has a L & H setting for the headphone output.
Are you connecting the line-output (RCA) jacks on the 11.32 to the line-input (RCA) jacks on the Slee Ultra Linear.
Or are you connecting the 11.32 headphone jack to the line-input on the Slee Ultra Linear?
When the output of the 11.32 is set to Variable, the volume of the line-output (RCA) should be controlled by the volume knob.
