So, I've just bought a new combo of E17 + E09k which connected through USB to my iMac. Where should my settings be in terms of computer volume vs. volume settings on my E17 vs. volume on my E09K? Which one of these should be maxed out, which one should be carrying the load, etc...
Should my computer and e17 be halfway and let my E09K carry the load through gain and the volume knob? Should my computer volume be maxed out and controlled through the E17 or E09K? Does it make a difference in sound quality either way?
I'll be running them to either my Ultrasone HFI-680 and soon my Hifiman HE-400 (Still in the box, wife won't let me open till my birthday. Two more weeks!!!) .
Haven't found a definite answer yet, been searching the forums like mad.
Can anyone help me out?
