Optimal Volume and Settings for Mytek Brooklyn


Hi all!

I’ve got a Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ driven by a MacBook Pro. When I put the volume above about -3 I get distortion and clipping. Is this expected? I usually leave it around -10. Is there an optimal volume?

also, I know it has filters, but I’m not sure what any of them do or how they are suppose to differ.  Does anyone have preferences on them? At the moment everything is default. Thanks!

Did you already update your Software to the latest version; then you are allowed to adjust your perfect volume settings on your DAC+ version , from 05 - to 4v. (1.8  is mostly recoomended). Before that you have (sometimes ) to mutch with output up to 4v.
