Hi, recently received my SBX G6 and i'm really enjoying it so far. I have a couple questions about measurements and stuff though since I'm pretty new to audio measurement values and such
1) In the measurements amirm mentioned that to get good S/N they needed to drop the output by 2 dBFS digitally. What does this mean in terms of the windows volume control? I'm assuming its like from 100/100 to a lower value
2) Kind of related to question 1. How do windows volume values translate to dB? I'm using my SBX G6 with the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro Plus and right now I need to set to to a very low 6/100 for comfortable listening. 10/100 volume is at the max that I can stand. I'm thinking of either buying something like the iFi iEMatch or building my own attenuator following this DIY-Audio-Haven article:

In case this is useful info on the Beyer Custom One Pro Plus: Impedance is 16 ohms and the sensitivity is 96dB/mw with more info here:

Edit 1: Forgot to mention that I'm using Sound Blaster Command version 34.93.3 with firmware version 2.0
