If that's the goal, why not to output 2V at 0dB attenuator and set the attenuator to reach only 0.8V by default (-7.8dB) ?The DAC level was intentionally limited because as a digital amplifier, we felt it was comfortable knowing that with maximum signal (0dB), and maximum volume, you reach the max power (or almost), without distortion .
Looks like a really great productThanks for the review.

Is it just me but in many cases european audio products look like assembled DIY project? Is there anything beside enclosure design that was engineered by audiophonics? DAC board is something I`d probably seen on aliexpress...Not that of a mystery.
Ok... Yes, it absolutely is just you.Is it just me but in many cases european audio products look like assembled DIY project?

Lots of "DIY" European speakers...
I must be you cause these (example) doesn't look very diy to me:Is it just me but in many cases european audio products look like assembled DIY project? Is there anything beside enclosure design that was engineered by audiophonics? DAC board is something I`d probably seen on aliexpress...
This is a review and detailed measurements of the Audiophonics DA-S250NC class D amplifier (hypex NC252MP) and stereo DAC/Bluetooth. It was requested by a member and supplied by the company. It costs 582,50 € (tax excluded) (US$641).

A version of this with higher performance DAC and amplifier would be just dandy!
Let's switch the load now from 8 to 2 ohm while also changing the phase angle as to represent capacitive and inductive loads:
