Budget DAC Review: behringer UMC204HD

[wineaholic]

It depends. I use one with a Tivoli Audio Model 2 radio and that has a quite high input sensitivity. So it is much happier with the Behringer than with a 2V DAC. In fact, there is quite a lot of gear that is not happy with the Red Book 2V input level.

If one run into such a problem, would it be enough to reduce the level of the output signal on the PC? As I have now bought an SMSL SU 1 DAC which does not offer any setting options.

Sure but that would also technically reduce quality.
