I'm having the opposite gain problem on my newly acquired 2017 bha-1. Not a problem technically, I just want to keep the amp on low gain because I've read it has lower noise that way. Along with using the lower 1V recommended output for headphones from a Wiim pro plus, and not wanting to go over 90% volume on my phone, to also eliminate any extra possible distortion. With 90% on phone, 1V output from Wiim, and bha-1 on low gain, I have the volume around the 2:00 position for my HD600's. But 95% of the time I don't need it louder than that, just on the very quiet recordings. I also have a balanced headphone cable coming that should solve this. It sounds amazing though, didn't want to turn it off last night and went to bed very late. That never happened with my RME adi-2 dac fs and LCD-3F combo.
