I need some help understanding the proper use of gain settings on the flex.  I understand that I need to leave headroom while running Dirac, but I’m not clear on how the two different sets of gains (in and out) relate to that.  If I turn the input gain up, do I need to turn the output down?  I’m trying to get greater volume out on the analog out.

You can leave headroom upstream also 

just make your source -10db 

if analog in , and using the 2Vrms input scheme , set your source to whatever voltage equals -10db of 2VRMS 


personally I would use the master volume as a way to give it headroom , way less noisy
