Music bleeding at zero volume


Trying to understand why music continues to play when I have the DAC/pre turned all the way down...

When it’s dead quite in the house - I don’t even need to turn up the volume from zero. It plays loud enough to hear comfortably. Using XLR interconnects.

@ three_easy_payments,
It is evidently difficult for the self proclaimed geniuses.  The love of thy own voice coupled with all-knowing cranial prowess leaves a lot to be desired by the masses when it is consistently displayed in the form of condescension.  Sad when one does not realize their writing manner, sadder yet when one intends to write in this form.   Something Almarg and other great minds here never displayed.
