I use my Yamaha RX-A3060 AVR mostly as a PRE/PRO. I use the built in amps for 4 ceiling ATMOS speakers. So I am mostly concerned about the performance of the preouts of the Yamaha.
Yamaha volume set to -1 db. Pure Direct Mode.
Pre out to Behringer UCA202 USB sound card input
Behringer UCA202 TOSLINK (optical) to Yamaha TOSLINK input 1.
Windows 10 laptop on battery running REW EQ.
With the settings in REW and my UCA202 I could not get to 0dBFS source signals. Graphs attached are the maximum output/input settings I could get before clipping my measurements.
