By default, SA-1 is in low gain mode. If you need to drive headphones, it is recommended to use high gain mode. You may need to read the instructions. When we use the high gain mode on the decoder SDA6-PRO (4.6V RMS output) to balance the input and output, we can even push AKG K1000 headphones.
Oh dear! This is the 3rd post I have to reply implying I can't (or don't) read manuals.
I did switch it to high gain.
I have a low post count but I am not a noobie in this hobby....
I read you are the designer. Perhaps you can explain if it is realistic to expect the increase in volume with some usage that another poster mentioned.
