Topic: Newbie RME ADI-2 dac volumes mayday...
I have set up a system of W11 laptop to dac via usb, dac to Adam sub7 sub woofer to Genelecs 8030c over XLR cables (active speakers) The system sounds fantastic with the new RME dac but I have one problem.
When I started the system the volume was deafeningly loud and I coped with it using a very very low volume from Windows 11. I think I need to change volume values in the dac - perhaps to: Line Output: Ref Level to +1 dBu and
Auto Ref Level to OFF . Does this look right?
How can I make the changes and where does it explain simply what buttons do what. I have watched an RME video on YouTube but the procedure happens too fast for me to take in, made worse by the fact I do not understand what the button do. \thid not covered in the manual.
Please can someone kindly give me an idiot's guide to making the setting changes (how and what) I need? eg 'first you turn this button to show x value and then press that button etc.'
I find the buttons and technique very complicated and need some help, please.
Thanks.
