Title: bottlehead crack with speedball too loud, barely have to turn volume knob
Post by: hunkichunki on December 13, 2024, 04:18:24 PM

Hey all, loving my crack but one thing..

I find it too loud? I barely have to turn the volume knob to get it to listening levels, let alone to the 12 oclock position which will likely melt my brain. Is there a way to fix that or is that an expected thing?

My running gear is Windows PC - > Ifi pro idsd dac -> bottle head

Thanks!

If I am reading the manual correctly there is a variable output option on your DAC. And presumably there could be a level control in the app you are using with your PC.  Trim either one of those down.

Thanks for this tip. I set it to variable and now I can adjust the crack volume at will :) thanks so much boss!
