Hey all,
In the absence of an actual dedicated headphone amp, I've been using a udac2 as an interim solution. I decided to get over my laziness today and hooked it up to my old NAD C350 speaker amp. The sound is definitely improved. There's much more bottom end and fullness all around (har!). My question then is about balancing the volume levels between the udac2 and the amp. Should I ultimately be controlling the volume from the amp or the udac (while leaving the other static)? It seems that the amp, being the endpoint and the better amplifier would be the right choice, but I'd like some confirmation (it would be much easier to just use the knob on the udac, though). Should I just play around with it until I find the magic ratio?
Thanks, peeps.
