24bit 96Khz source in most cases.
Is it possible to determine if using digital volume in the wiim pro or an external DAC (SMSL M500 in my case) is better?
Scenario one - use digital volume in wiim pro feeding optical into M500 DAC set at fixed volume
Scenario two - use fixed volume in wiim pro feeding optical into M500 DAC set to adjust the volume
I also have a two position relay analog attenuator so I tend to use digital volume at always 25% or higher.
As I understand it - the main difference is how good the software volume algorithm is in each product and whether one is better than the other?
From ease of use point of view - scenario 1 is better because I have two way comms with the wiim. I can only 'shout and hope using IR' at the M500.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
