For my Allo Rev DAC which support native DSD (and DoP) MPD set to "Native DSD (Default) it works like below.
- Software volume > 0 will be same as Fixed (0dB) because MPD does not have algorithm to perform VCl on DSD bitstream. In the Rev DAC you get full volume at any Software volume setting between 1 -100. **Caution :-0
- Hardware volume will result in volume control being done by ESS chip which knows how to perform VC on bitstream. moOde knob controls volume on DSD bitstream (or DoP) same as if it were PCM.
