hardware gain option
Re: hardware gain option
so reducing the hardware volume to 1 (minimum volume) on the Dragonfly red (whose volume control is digital - 64 steps) will theoretically reduce the bit depth?
Re: hardware gain option
If the DAC does the volume reduction in its digital part, then this will indeed reduce the bit depth before conversion to analog.
But as the DAC = Digital Analog Converter delivers an analog signal, it doesn't really make sense to speak of bit depth.
What do need a high bit depth for ? To have a high dynamic range and be able to hear the parts of the music that have low volume.
Which you won't hear anyway if you reduce the volume to minimum.
Re: hardware gain option
ok but if the minimum volume is loud enough for my headphones I will loose that low volume parts, right?
So it is better to change the amp or the headphones for a better pairing..

Re: hardware gain option
So you've got an external DAC which delivers such a high analog output signal that you have to set volume to minimum ... then you might try headphones with a higher impedance.
