Yes I figured that much. Myself born and raised in Sweden (the northern west coast ). English not being my native tongue I can certainly relate 😉 .
Low gain dac!
I am contemplating buying a new dac, the dac I have today has 4.3v output on both balanced and RCA, which makes me only use a small turn on the volume knob on my pre amp, which is a high gain design, volume starts at 6 o’clock and too loud at 8-9!
Any input is appreciated, ladde dac’s or more conventional dac’s doesn’t matter, both designs have my interest.
My system:
Primare Dac30
Supratek Cabernet pre
Belles SA 30 power amp
Graham Audio LS 5/9
Thanks!

I agree with GeorgeHiFi. I had a similar problem resulting in tube noise from the preamp. I tried Rothwell attenuators (after the pre), which did help with the noise but the sound lost life. I replaced my BHK preamp with a low gain pre (Benchmark) and life is better than ever. Try the Schiit passive. |
I’ve used these to step down the voltage of mytek Brooklyn DAC+ : Jensen JT-6110K-B https://www.jensen-transformers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/JT-6110K-B-Data-Sheet.pdf |
