I recently received my new P4. I was intrigued by its feature set, which was just what I was looking. However, what I've noticed is this thing is hot(gain). I have the gain set to 3dB and even at only 8:00 this thing is too loud for my near field listening use case. That doesn't allow me any room to fine tune the volume settings. I'd have wished that they would have included a setting for 0dB. My amp does not have the option of lower the gain either. Note; I am using an Ian Canada DAC build with transformer output.
Anyone else experiencing this gain issue?

Edit: BTW, the P4 sounds marvelous through my Modulus-86 amp. The Modulus is a little amp is the one to be reckoned with!
