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.

There was a Partridge Family episode where Chris could hear AM radio through a loose filling in his tooth and it kept throwing off his rhythm and he couldn't drum until they got him to a dentist.
