Usually I set Berkeley DAC volume at 55 and use ASR volume control. I also tried setting ASR volume at 51 which according to ASR is a neutral position where there is no active gain and use Berkeley volume control. However, Berkeley gain is rather low and at full volume on Berkeley sometimes it still was not enough.
"Jonathan, I wonder if you can elaborate the upcoming USB upgrade a bit more. I am in the process of auditioning Weiss INT202 to compare to my Lynx AES 16 card but it seems like I should wait to see what's going on with PD USB first."
Suteetat: We already have transfers through USB of up to 384 kHz. We expect to be able to transfer over 5.6 MHz through a USB connection shortly. You might even hear it at CES if you care to visit!
"What MH unit did you use and what soundcard was in the Mac Pro to output AES/EBU?
Where the DACs connected directly to active monitors/amps?"
Kana813: We were using the Sonic 305 which is a Sonic branded ULN-8 with a Lynx AES16 card. The DAC's were connected through a Crane Song Avocet (modified by Dave Hill) and Pass Labs XA-100.5 monoblocs.
