Hello list, I have a Midiman Audiophile 2496 connected to a NAD 314 with analog chinch cables. http://207.228.230.231/info/NAD_314.pdf http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Audiophile2496-focus.html I installed ALSA 1.0.13 (tools, utils, drivers). alsamixer shows ADC 1+2 and DAC 1+2, all four of them have an influence on volume. What are the best settings regarding output volume? Here's the info I gathered so far: - analog volume control is better than digital (latter strips detail) - the 2496 output has a gain of +2dB at 100% - the Windows driver has a toggle for switching between professional -10.0dB and consumer +2.0dB output Here are the questions I have on my mind: - Is a Hifi amplifier considered to be a consumer product? - If so, should I reduce the output by -2.0dB? - If not, should I reduce the output by -12.0dB? - Why do the ADC's have an effect on playback volume? I started wondering about this when connecting my portable player to the amplifier. Its volume is the same as the one of the the 2496 when the -10.0dB switch is on in Windows.
