I’m running the set-up shown in the picture below in which filters built in Audiolense are processed using Audiolense Convolver. The digital pre-amp is a mini-DSP DDRC-22D which is used for input selection, re-sampling, and volume control, and it’s the latter aspect that I’m after advice on how to optimize. Key facts seem to be:
- Audiolense filters result in a 20dB reduction
- Audiolense convolver is set to 0dB
- Setting DDRC-22D to 0dB and with no input/output trim on the RME results in volume being the maximum that is of practical use, i.e., perfect for movies or music when the family is not at home.
- Setting DDRC-22D to -24dB and with no input/output trim on the RME results in volume being about right for daily use, i.e., watching TV or listening to music when cooking dinner with family
