Hi,
I'm going to have a Benchmark DAC1 soon and I'm curious to how I should be controlling the output volume of the XLR Analogue Balanced Outputs at the rear panel.
The set up should be:
Benchmark DAC1 >>XLR cables>> Amplifier >> Headphones
Do I adjust the volume using the *Calibrated* volume control setting (i.e. using the calibration potentiometers at the rear end) or do I do it with the *Variable* volume control setting (i.e. using the front panel volume knob to control the analogue output)?
What are the differences of using one from the other?
Thanks.
