A question for all you Milo owners.  As I await my Milo's delivery I am wondering about volume control.  More specifically, how to set the volume from my iMac.  Does it matter what volume I set my computer to when it goes to my DAC and into The Milo?  Is there a limit for what the computers internal volume should be set at?  Does it make a difference to the sound of amp?  Does it change the quality of the sound being that my computers sound isn't as good?  Thanks in advance.  

It is best to keep digital audio at 100% and do the volume control in the analog domain (Milo).

WTS: dynamic range.

Thank you for the advice

Do you guys leave the Milo on all the time? If not, how much warmup time does it seem to need?

I do not leave mine on constantly. I think 15 to 30 minutes of warm-up is good enough.

I leave mine on, when I forget to turn it off that is.

I don't think it matters too much. When I turn it on, get logged into the PC, get settled in and start listening a good 10+ min has gone by. That's enough warm up time for me.

I think warm up is more important to a R2R DAC than the Milo.

I notice a distinct improvement in the sound after 20-30 minutes of warm up of the Milo.  That's with the Singularity 19 on 24/7.

That is near what I said above. 15 to 30 minutes for me.

All great advice.  I have been wondering if it was meant to stay on all the time or to be turned off.  My Deckard gets pretty warm, but definitely needs to be warmed up.  I will heed this advice for when my Milo arrives.

Does the Milo need 200 hrs of burn in?  Do you notice a big difference after burn in?  I assume it will need 100-200 hrs...

Wells Audio recommends 200 hours of burn-in.

Thank you.  Did you notice a huge difference?

I noticed a difference, but my ZMF Eikon was burning in with the Milo, so part of the difference is likely due to the Milo burn-in and part of it due to the Eikon burn-in.

I have an Ori/Omni.  I am told The Milo is the best SS amp on earth for it.  How do you like it with your Eikon?
