Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? My experience with Eversolo was with the A6. I found the overall clarity was best was when the A6 was at 100%. I controlled the final volume with the Benchmark LA4. When the A6 was less than 100% I found some inconsistencies with background noise ... | |

How competitive are you with your system? Great thread! I am by nature a competitive person. Always have been. However, in my primary hobbies I am more into being the best I can be. This goes for writing, woodworking, and my sound systems. There are some really expensive set ups that I... | |
