I see the switch for software volume control on the MacOS version of Audirvana. I also see a volume control slider on Audirvana for Windows. On my DAC, the Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 (which as the “Pre” in its name indicates, includes a built-in hardware volume adjustment - it also offers remote control for volume), the volume slider in Audirvana for Windows does not seem to affect the system volume at all unless it is completely muted.
I would like to experiment with exclusive software volume control with the DAC volume set all the way up (0 dB), and I wondered whether this was available for DACs such as mine in Audirvana for Windows.
You’re talking about the volume control available for years or an improved version of volume control like Leedh processing (supposed to be completly lossy)?
The last Time i used audirvana volume control was two years ago i think. It was really good with details and lisibility but with less space and refinement than with my Octave preamp or Ayre K5xeMP.
I didn’t read anywhere than Audirvana volume control was improved but if it’s the case i’ll try it again versus my preamps.
