Yes, you are correct on adjusting reference level first and if you prefer your MF primarily to adjust the volume then lock the volume on the RME. I’m running balance so I’m at +1db which has the same output as my other devices. I’d just play around with the reference levels and find the one that works best... you might step it down one for awhile to hear how it works out and if you think you need more gain then bump it up one setting.
BlueSound Node 2i > RME ADI2 DAC > NAD 316 BEE v2 > Dali Rubicon 5 (volume too high)
Hey guys,
This might be a silly question but I'd really appreciate if you can help me understand this issue or the lack thereof.
Listed above is my system/chain. I have 3 units with pre-amp (Node, RME DAC and NAD amp). So what should the volume on my Node and RME Dac if I want the NAD to be the main control?
Currently, I have it at Full Volume (0 db) on the Node and RME. However, I can't seem to go past 9 o clock position on my NAD or it simply gets too loud.
Is this normal? If so, I don't think I'll ever need a more powerful amplifier? I am able to drive a pair of Dali Rubicon 5s (considered power hungry) with this entry level NAD. I was considering upgrading the amp but wonder if it would make any difference at all?
