Hi,

There are couple of ways to ask the questions about how it's better to get the best quality.

1. Windows Volume 100% - Game/Program 100% - AMP Full Volume / No Gain
2. Windows Volume 100% - Game/Program 100% - AMP 2-3 Bar less / GAIN ON
3. Windows Volume 60-70% - Game/Program 100% - AMP Full Volume / GAIN ON

Which is the best way to get quality ? Do I need GAIN On with this headphones ? some people say the GAIN gave them more quality on some high impedance headphones.


Also that's what JDS told me about the GAIN, but I'm not sure if the GAIN is the same on mayflowerelectornics and JDS ones

Use the gain button only when you need more volume.

Output voltage is a specification of a DAC or soundcard (not headphones). Your GSX 1000s are rated 1.0VRMS, so the default gain of Objective2 is a perfect match.

Best regards,

Thanks

3. Windows Volume 70% - Game/Program 100% - AMP GAIN ON, Adjust Volume using amplifier's volume knob

O2 has a fault which is distortion at high gain, because of high voltage input from the DAC.the only solution is reducing input volume by decreasing windows volume to 70-75%
