Advice for newb with new system

[Wizard509]

Hello and thank you for reading this post.

I am putting a new system in my shop. The chain will be: W10 laptop running Foobar > JDS ATOM DAC+ > Nobsound passive preamp > ADAM T10S subwoofer > ADAM T5V satellites.

I am very much “old school” when it comes to audio equipment and would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the following:

1) How to go about setting the initial levels on the subwoofer and satellites.

2) Run WASAPI event with EQAPO & Peace?

3) Or, run WASAPI exclusive with MathAudio?

I have a calibrated UMIK-1 and REW is installed on the laptop.

Please let me know if you need more information from me or if there are things that I am overlooking.

Thank you for your assistance.

If Rew has equalizer options you need I'd just run using that in exclusive mode to keep it simple. For APO/Peace you run in Wasapi shared, and run at a match like if your music is 44.1khz, then run at 32 or 24 bit 44.1khz.

I see that you are in Florida. I am in the panhandle a bit north of Panama City.
