@jafant Nice! What amp were you previously using? I imagine you are happy with the SQ. Does it play loud enough for you?
Assuming *balanced* connection (please tell me you’re using this and not the RCA connection) and full scale output (common on rock recordings but not necessarily classical), your combination of AX-5 and DX-5 will begin clipping at “40” or “41” indicated on the AX-5 volume display. With DSD recordings, this will be at indicated “44”. Ignoring room interactions, I estimate this somewhere in the range 95-97 dB with the CS2.4.
