Wow, great insight. Thank you for the link.
Ill give your suggestion a try later on.
I do have a ifi iDSD micro, but thats being repaired now. Officially its stated that it has >2V from the RCA outputs and hopefully that will sort things out. It also has a 'Direct or Pre-amp' mode for to use it just as a DAC. Hopefully ill get different results when trying it with that.
I am in the market of another dac though, whilst the wallet is happy
. I'm between getting the Mojo or the new Fiio X5 iii as that supports asynchronous USB.
If you don't mind me asking, what DAC are you using?
Again, thank you for taking the time to find and post the link.
