No, nothing, just go bitperfect. The Violectric stuff takes a lot of input volume, don't worry about it.

I recommend going the PI2AES route though instead of USB. You'll get more of your V590 that way. I use a Lynx AES card to the V590 with a single W3173 Neutrik wire and the Pi2AES still came out on top. It's just a superb design.

Building a RPI4 is not a big task, also you can setup an additional one as Rooncore/Roon Endpoint etc. if you want to go all out.

for now I will use the internal dac using usb, to get a feel of how it is in stock form, so I was referring to the headphone amp gain +6db addition, if I should do anything in tidal or roon to prevent clipping or is that not related at all.

may i ask some questions knowing I want to stick to using usb :)

1- power cord, any advise if I should invest in an after market one to get better sound quality
2- Dac, do you think adding a dac will give a better sound quality than the built in dac, as the whole reason I bought the 590 is to have an all in one Unit. If adding a dac to 590 which ones are recommended
3- for audeze lcd4 which do you think is it best to set the switches at the headphone gain
4- would it be better to do the upsampling from roon or using the 590 upsampling
5- after i installed the amenero driver i see 2 drivers now in roon, one wasapi and one combo asio, so which one is the better to use

I will share some impressions using 590 with lcd4, he1000se, he1000v1, denon 9200

Expect a feedback that might align or not align with some glorious feedback shared here

I will reference chord tt2, and a cheap romi bx2 plus portable amp with chord mojo, so buckle up. I will do some burn in for the 590 for few days, and then report back unless someone can tell me that the sound will not change with burn in

I am using the new USB Lush 3 cable, roon-tidal, and asus zephyrus Gx501Gi

hifiman he1000v1 is first headphone to comment on using with 590 as a dac amp, i really loved this combo, the 590 as a dac /amp has a tight grip on the sound, the sound was full with a big head room, bass was tight, great mids and details and big soundstage, when I used the he1000v1 with tt2 the synergy was a bit on the thinner side, and not as enjoyable as the 590 with he1000v1

Ya I’d check with your dealer. I don’t have that issue when using it as pre-amp nor headphone amp.

Sorry to hear you have this issue.

is it a "pro" version? so if so and that you do not actually hear any extraneous noise when turning the volume control, it is worrying for me :). But yet it seems to me that others have mentioned these "noises", am i wrong?

The Pro volume implementation should not be giving you any significant noise. It is basically silent, and the only way to really notice it should be in direct comparison with a standard version. If you've got noise or other issues, I'd reach out to your dealer or Violectric directly, that doesn't sound normal to me.
