Bluesound Node volume pot setting for an integrated amp

I would set the Bluesound at around 85% and use the volume on your integrated amp to adjust.

What ozzy said. Using the bluesound volume was a bit easier but the sound is better when bypassing the Node volume control.

Sorry, I have the Node 2i which does not have HDMI input as does your new version Node.

So the HDMI out from my Roku is input into the HDMI in of the TV, and the TV audio analog out into my preamp.  Unfortunately, does not get the benefit of my DAC.

I use the Node volume control because it has finer steps than my integrated. I can get stuck in a too loud, too soft situation otherwise. With the Node wide open I set the integrated at my listening max and lower it from there with the Node. It’s allegedly a compromise in sound quality but so is music too loud or too soft. For an integrated with a continuous analog volume pot (not stepped) Ii might use the fixed out on the Node.
