Topping DX7 pro+ No Volume

Today I received the Topping DX7 pro+.
First I installed the latest updates. That also went smoothly.

Unfortunately, I have a problem with the volume, which is almost non-existent.
Felt at most room volume.
I connected the headphones via 4.4mm and also with 6.3mm. Unchanged, it remains "silent".
The source is the Fiio M11 plus, which I connected via USB. Fiio recognizes the device.

When I listen to music from the PC via the topping (also USB), the volume is there - until the eardrum practically bursts....

If I listen directly via the Fiio ( without DX7 pro+), the volume is also there.

Until yesterday I had the Atoll HD 100 to listen to.
No problems there either. USB plug in, Fiio recognizes the device and off you go....

Does anyone have an idea how I can solve the problem?

Is there any DAC mode or Preamp mode,etc in the menu?
Probably is something about these settings.

Sounds to me like the topping doesn't accept the usb signal from the fiio.

Just to be clear, when connected to the fiio, is the music faint, or non existent?

The music is faint. If the fiio is not compatible, that would not be nice.
Very annoying.:(

As there is a signal getting through I would agree with @Sokel above- there is something in the playback chain reducing the volume- either the player app on the fiio, some output setting on the fiio or less likely on the topping.

Problem solved....
I hadn't set it to DAC in the settings.....
But thanks for the quick replies. I'm happy that everything works and the DX7 is great!
Pure dynamics and power!

Sokel was on the right path! Thanks!

me again...
somehow I'm not happy with the combination of Fiio M11plus + dx7pro+ and Arya SM.
My Arya is indeed very well powered with DAC and you can hear very loud.
But if I connect the Arya directly to the Fiio, the sound quality is significantly better and above all warmer.
Disadvantage: You can't really hear loud.
The Arya sounds totally neutral with the DX7pro+. Can you confirm that as well?

Other devices, such as the EF 400 Hifiman or Burson Conductor 3X Performance, do poorly in the ratings. Is that whining at a high level? Are these devices really that bad?
Or how do I have to understand Amirm's reviews?

Somehow curse and blessing at the same time....
It unsettles me.

Ария Хифиман? Высококачественный ЦАП + высококачественные наушники — вот как это должно звучать.
Мне кажется нужны более мягкие теплые динамические наушники. I only listened Takstar HF580 + HIFIMAN EF400 - DAC softened the sound. Gonna take Topping DX7 Pro+ because it has no sound color. (Maybe you should try other filters and modes). Or dynamic headphones with high detail.
