I use my ADI-2 DAC FS to adjust the volume but the GLM level is fixed (and stored in monitors/subwoofer) and set low enough so that a full scale signal is not too loud. Auto Ref is also enabled, and I use the analog input on the Genelec.

It's a trial and error approach to set the GLM level that works for you for your content.

If you're using auto standby on the Genelec (they call it ISS) note that it will not work if you're using the digital input.

Confirm, exact same setup I use successfully.

Best results with the RME unit are achieved using Auto REf, which optimizes output according. This is explained quite nicely in the manual.

(I for one use digital input and control volume via GLM with their hardware knob.)

Am I connecting it right? What’s the correct/optimal setting to connect both?

Thank you.
