Seriously, the +6 dB setting doubles the voltage out of the DAC, but louder sometimes is perceived to sound better. Sent from my iPhone using A.Aficionado |

I don't know exactly why it changes the sound quality but to my ears, it does. I believe the reason that I am now noticing the difference is because of the resolving power of the XP-30 preamp I recently added. The last time I switched back and forth, my impressions were that the 0 dB setting produced more delicacy and nuance to the sound, while the +6 dB setting produced a more punchy and dynamic sound. I'll try it again tonight to see if I dreamt all of this. PS - I did adjust the overall volume level to be equal. Best, Ken Last edited by PlanarSpeakerFan; 01-20-2014 at 03:41 PM. |

I would think that if it sounds different, that indicates a issue with the way the preamp is designed, because it is a fact that no two devices put out the same exact voltage. Every dac and phono pre I have had in my system demands a slightly different volume setting for the same output dB. At least I think so. But a lot of stuff doesn't make sense in this hobby. |

Thanks. I have been listening so much that I don't know what sounds good or bad anymore. Sensory overload!

It's helpful to change one thing at a time and listen for several days.
