Line out level
What volume level should a DAC be set to when feeding your Pre Amp
G'day All
I have an Accuphase DAC (DC-901) with a digital volume control that feeds my Pre Amp/Accuphase integrated Amp. The DAC is fed via USB. It reports its volume level in db and altering the volume on the DAC impacts the volume level coming out of my Integrated. I currently have the DAC set at 0.0db. This DAC level is purely a guess on my part not really understanding the technicalities of it all. I'd like to understand better the implications of this DAC volume setting on my overall listening experience and whether or not the setting I have in place currently is correct.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers
