volume control

Hello all, I want to set up a bedroom system that I relax to at night or even fall asleep to.... I do not have the Neumanns yet but I want to fully understand what I need and what other components I may need. I currently have 2 bookshelf speakers on stands on each side of the bed...

Hi, I'm a long time reader first time poster. (This forum is awesome btw) I cannot find the answer to a question I have and haven't found it on this site. Also before I ask my question I'll preface with, I've reached out to Hedd audio and asked them my question and haven't heard back yet...

Hi. Anyone had luck controlling their SMSL DAC (hardware) volume using the USB interface? The Sanskrit 10th MKⅢ does not seem to expose its volume control over USB (see output from amixer below). I have come across reports online that this was possible with the MKII version, and other SMSL DAC...

This is a review of the MCM Custom Audio Model 50-8394 IR Remote Volume control. It costs about $50 and can be purchased here: https://www.newark.com/mcm-custom-audio/50-8394/line-level-volume-control-rohs/dp/79X4195 It was brought to my attention by the Skylabs Audio YouTube channel: Our...

Hey all, At the moment I have a Denon X3700 as Preamp, which for the long time fed a Yamaha MX-1 with Dynaudio Evoke 50s, recently joined by the Evoke Center and the Dynaudio Sub 6. Long time lurking and reading led me to upgrade the MX-1 to a Boxem Arthur 4215/E2 which arrived today and is a...

Hi, Because I want to properly integrate a sub I need to high pass my mains (LS50) but my amp does not have a main in to use it as a power amp. Is it possible to just use my integrated amp with the volume pot in a fixed position to achieve that? I already found the volume position in which...

There is so little information out there about this controller, so I made a video about it:

Hey does anyone have a link to a thread or reliable video that has objective data comparing the different out output qualities of an Amp when volume is controlled on the DAC vs when its controlled at the amp. I tried searching the forum and found a few discussion threads but no real hard data...

I just got my first older record player, and I'm looking to modify it. I'd like to add a volume knob. To be clear, this is not a question about preamps, only about what type of potentiometer I need to get (I know the volume knob will not make the phono output louder). I have worked with...

Since there seem to be no or few polls relevant to this topic here, and since I'm more confused now than I was before I had spent many hours/days checking out threads here: Which DAC/amp combos (edit: I prefer to use a combined and and DAC) are generally agreed upon as being best, under maximum...

I just bought a Topping E30. It sounds great. I am very happy. My use case is to play Apple Music hi-res from iPad Pro via USB-C to E30 (Preamp mode), and then to Bryston Amp (with no preamp). You can change volume at two places: 1) iPad Pro Music App and 2) E30 remote control. I would like to...

Hi everyone, I've recently bought an Aiyima A07 amplifier. As a source I'm using a Desktop PC with an on-board soundcard from Realtek. Amplifier is connected to the Wharfedale 220 speakers. I don't have to much experience with a variety of different audio equipment but for me it sounds really...

Hello, I've been reading the forum for quite a while, but it's my first time posting, hoping to find a light in the dark about one subject that has been bugging me for a long time. I've always been convinced and told by others, that digital volume control is a bad thing and that it decreases...

The voltage out of the DAC is 2.05v via the RCA outputs which is to high for the amplifier. If I lower the Voltage by adjusting the volume from 0dB to say -20dB will I lose resolution? i.e. is the volume control lossless?

Hi all, just starting out on my journey to decent sound with a budget build extensively using this forum's resource of knowledge. Scouring the forum hasn't provided me with a direct answer relevant to my equipment, so new thread (other threads are close but not quite equivalent). Plan was: Pi...

newbie here, just got a Topping DX3 pro V2 hooked to HP pc/windows 10/wireless internet, have installed DX3's driver Headphones are Senn HD599SE, listening to qobuz streaming via their desktop app. Does it make any difference which volume control to use qobuz's vs. pc's vs. Topping? Is...
