I always fix my amp's volume at slightly over mid or ~60%. And then I adjust my dac's volume to reach my comfortable listening levels.
I think amps in general operate the best around that slightly-over-mid range with the best FR and power. I also know that many folks suggest we should set the dac's volume to 100% to achieve bit-perfection. But slightly-over-mid on my amp and 100% on my dac is just too loud. I am using Singxer SA-1 + SMSL m500.
What do you guys do in this case?
