Hi all,
Newbie here.
Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3b+ with IQaudio DAC+ using the headphone jack.
I am getting crazy loud volume from dsf files.
Listening to The Jazz Groove with volume set at 25.
Listen to mp3s at 20 to 25 setting
dsf files are set at 1 on the volume and even then, way to loud.
How can I adjust the output lower for dsf files?

For DAC's like the IQaudIO that don't do hardware volume control for DSD formats you would prolly need to set SoX resampling on so the DSD file first gets converted to PCM then you should be able to control volume.
Otherwise you could try one of the DAC's that provides hardware volume control for DSD formats:
- Allo Boss2 and Revolution
- Topping DAC's (I'm not sure which one's)
- Others

I'm just getting hiss.
Tried different settings in this section, I just get hiss.
I will try another dac, thank for your help.
