Can somebody please give me some advice on the best settings for this setup?
- I want to use the Topping A70 PRO as a preamp in the chain via XLR, because I need the RCA inputs for my phono stage.
- I want to use the ADI-2 just as a DAC, connected via XLR to the Topping A70 PRO and via USB cable to my music player.
Am I correct to assume thst the optimal settings would be:
- to set the gain to the Arcam PA240 to the 25dB Gain setting.
- to set the Topping A 70 Pro gain to Low and FFT 0 dB to 5Vrms
- to set the RME ADI-2 DAC reference level to +19 Dbu.
But if so, what fixed volume should I set on the RME ADI-2 DAC for optimal results?
Information relating to the Arcam PA240 two possible gain settings: - Gain setting 31 dB - XLR - 2.3V RMS ; Gain setting 25dB - XLR - 4.6V RMS
I would be using all this to drive two passive speakers (Focal 40th Spectral)
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Pat
