Hi, I’m wondering what would be the ideal setting of gain/volume in the following chain?
(1) Node Streamer (coax out to RME)
(2) RME ADI-2 (RCA out to Yamaha)
(3) Yamaha N-R602 Integrated Amp (to KEF LS50)
Currently, my setting is a follows:
(1) Node Steamer: volume fix at maximum (0db)
(2) RME as a DAC/preamp: I control the volume from there (usually between -30db to -40db)
(3) Yamaha Integrated amp: I set this at "Pure Direct" and set the volume at 0db. (I could alternatively turn off the "Pure Direct" and use the "Loudness" knob in the tone control section to tweak more.
Please let me know if this is the most effective setting, or I could do better?
