Do anyone know what USB receiver and DAC chip that is used in the Beresford 7520 DAC???

Because, the instructions say to set the "volume control 0db level" (which I'm not exactly sure if its the front volume knob or some other thing inside the TC-7520.) level to 12-2 o'clock for headphones with an impedence of 32-64 ohms, but if you put the front volume knob at 12-1 o'clock, it is waay too loud. |
