So my current audio setup has 3 different volume/amplification controls.
Realtek/SupremeFX software amplification setting -> Vali amplification knob -> Sennheiser PC37X volume knob
Obviously I should leave all software volume sliders at 100%, but how should I balance the rest of it?
The SupremeFX audio driver software has 3 amplification levels: Performance, Powerful, and Extreme. Should I just leave it on Performance and let the Vali do all the work? I thought about that but because Performance is very quiet I'm worried the current output might be so low that some detail will be completely lost before the Vali has a chance to amplify it. Is that fear unfounded?
How does the Sennheiser volume knob work on a technical level, and does it impact audio fidelity? Does it matter if I turn down the Vali and crank the Sennheiser volume knob to max volume, or vice versa?
