Best settings for External Amp (RNHP) using the RME ADI-2 fs as the DAC?

[KillerQ]

Hey, All,

I just picked up this beautiful Rupert Neve RNHP Amp to compliment my RME ADI-2 fs. Here are the specs:


For the RNHP:
https://rupertneve.com/products/rnhp-he … amplifier/

For the RME ADI-2 fs:
https://www.rme-audio.de/downloads/adi2dac_e.pdf

What RME settings would be best when using the RNHP as the main amp (I’ll be mostly using Anandas, Aeon 2 closed, and E-MU Teaks as my headphones)?

know different people have different opinions, but I think I should put it on the fixed output mode and keep the RNHP amp volume up all the way - that way I use the RME as the volume control. Right ?

I’d prefer to use the RME volume, so would I leave the new amp turned up all the way and leave AUTO REF LEVEL turned on with the RME? What about REF level +db settings?

Then I’ll remember these steps to keep in mind for future amps.

Thanks for helping me learn.

Can't help with the recommended settings for that beast of a DAC, but I just wanted to say you have basically my end game setup right there. I love my RNHP and have been eyeing the ADI-2 for a while now... Enjoy!
