I am not sure, I can not find such certain information about it on the internet.

But when I run:
find /dev/snd -type l -iname "*usb*" -exec readlink -f "{}" \;

I get:
/dev/snd/controlC2
/dev/snd/controlC2

Which gives me a bit of hope.

Is there a way I could find if the device has or doesn't have such
hardware volume control from?
The problem is that the DAC sounds a bit quiet on my headphones.
Although it plays really well.

Thanks
