I just bought an Music Fidelity V90-DAC to connect my Smart TV – which I use as a DNLA receiver – to my stereo amp. However I also connected my notebook via USB to the DAC and was surprised, that the volume control of my notebook actually affects the volume on the stereo amp.
How can I imagine that it works? Is the DAC able to control the volume based on the information it gets by the USB? Is there a loss of bit depth? Does it matter what is the output volume of the notebook or should it be maximum? Or does the DAC control the volume after the D/A conversion?
If this works, wouldn’t it make sense to connect the TV via USB to the DAC instead of optical? Could I then control the overall volume via the TV remote?
Thank you! (... and sorry for my english)
