Sound difference between High\Low Gain Setting when volume matched?


In a Dac+Amp that has more that one gain setting (that is switchable) - will it simply produce the exact same sound but with a different amount of amplification, or could there be actual differences in sound when volume is exactly matched?

The specific device in Topping DX3 Pro+ I got for my nephew.

Thanks!

My dealer recommended using the volume pot between 10 and 2 o’clock and then using gain to add/reduce volume to the desired level. That way your adjustment swings aren’t too wide or too narrow.
