Along the lines of there is no such thing as a stupid question, here goes nothing.
I’m using an external USB DAC. What’s the best volume setting to us in the OS (Windows 7 in my case) to drive the DAC. Will a 100% oversteer de OPAMP in my DAC or will to low an output setting lack the power to drive my amp. There must be an optimum here somewhere.
Ideally I would like to control volume through the OS software, but there must be a catch here, otherwise why would most DAC’s with integrated pre-amps have separate volume dials?
Thanks,
