Thank you! So, Generic Driver is a better option in any case? When I wasn't using USB DAC I was using Custom Format with configuration I looked up in the system files. But I though that this is relevant only when trying to send digital signal to the internal DAC of the device. Is it not the case? I...

By the way, do I understand correctly that the Hardware Gain is not needed as it relates to the phones internal DAC only? If you disable Audio Hardware > Hardware Gain you'll get the internal gain slider, which should operate on Neutron's output. I suggest you try that and play around with the volu...

When I wasn't using USB DAC I was using Custom Format with configuration I looked up in the system files. I suggest you don't use the generic driver's custom format at all, it's not meant to be used to choose the sampling rate in the normal course of events. When you've enabled direct usb access an...

I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong thread.

Should I enable Generic Driver when using external USB DAC?

I was under impression that this scenario results in quality loss, so that's why I resorted to such an unusual method. But, now that I have though about it, should a considerable decrease in Preamp level affect audio quality negatively? Could it be that I'm losing parts of a signal by setting hardw...

You could disable Settings > Audio Hardware > Hardware Gain and the Preamp switch, then yet another volume slider will appear ( on the eq screen instead of hardware gain or preamp ), which controls the volume after the DSP, and take that for fine control of volume, instead of the preamp or the hard...

The AGP limits the output level of the DSP by reducing the preamp, so that 0 dB isn't exceeded after the equalizer, crossfeed etc. See how the agp works How is this different from the AGP (Automatic Gain Protection) ? To my understanding, AGP triggers when it detects overloaded signal, which exceed...

:?: I have a suggestion concerning the Hardware Volume Control feature. The thing is, I've taken to make use of Hardware Volume Control feature to adjust playback volume with precision not attainable otherwise, via Peamp slider (or manually entering numerical value in the box when tapping on it). Do...
