S= Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen
F= Fiio K5 Pro
Source -> DAC(S) -> DAC/AMP(F) -> Output
1. With this kind of setup, the system will use S’s DAC driver and use F’s AMP chip?
Or it just use S’s DAC driver and only use F’s volume control skipping any chip inside F unit?
2. Should I just use F as DAC/AMP and only use F as microphone/instrument input? Or use the setup above better?
