Fixed volume output

[Staresyj]

On set up I activated fixed volume output with line out level set at 2 Vrms. At slightly louder than normal listening level, I am hearing some distortion. I lowered the Vrms to 1 and lost some clarity but also think I lost some of the distortion. Is this something others have played with? My current set up is Wiim to DAC (set at 100% output no pre-amp reduction)

Fwiw, if you run an external dac, experiment with removing fixed volume setting. Maybe reduce WiiM device volume 25% at first. Experiment a bit with that, FYI this will require increasing your system reference volume. If this doesn’t work don’t take it out on me.

I should add that I use separates. I did notice that at 100% fixed volume with the WiiM my preamp volume was the set the lower than with my cd transport and outboard dac. Just sayin.
