Looking for a DAC similar to SMSL D6

[nanook]

Measurement 3 - DAC Volume 60 -
Sleeve & Ring - 2.01 V
Sleeve & Tip - 2.01 V
Tip & Ring - 4.01 V

Looks like "60" is the maximum volume setting for the D6? (on the D-6s it's 99 - this saves one digit ;-))
These number perfectly match Amir's measurements and this means the D6 is absolutely ok.

I've noticed: YouTube is low output, compared to direct playback from an audio player app on the same device. It's very noticeable. When I use a downloader and play the same music, it's significantly louder, as in full volume - didn't measure, but it must be 3dB easily or even more. Output doesn't matter either: blutoof, USB, headphone jack, it's all the same. YouTube never does full technical volume for some reason, at least on Android.

You really download all your music? hosted it on your computer?

Thanks for all the help!

Isn't this a known phenomenon with the human brain, where you crank up the sound and it's great and sounds awesome, but you get accustomed to it very quickly, so when you turn the sound down and then back up to that same level again, the very same level sounds dim compared to your previous perception? I'm not saying it's all in your mind, it's not, but it's all in your head (brain and ears). Maybe. I didn't really read the thread very closely at all.
