• Computer’s main (operating system) volume control should be set to 25%
of maximum.
• Adjust to desired volume using the computer’s main volume control.
When the music player’s volume is set to maximum and the computer’s main
volume control is used, DragonFly’s onboard 64-position analog-domain
volume control is able to preserve full resolution and maximum sound quality.
DragonFly is also capable of being employed as a traditional xed-output
source component (such as a CD, DVD or Blu-ray player), and can be
connected to a standard input on a receiver or preamplifier. For this
application, both the music player’s volume control and the main operating
system volume control should be set to maximum. This “xed output mode”
allows your audio or AV system’s volume control to be in charge.
