In Reply to: RE: Increase output voltage of DAC? posted by Ozzy on October 11, 2014 at 13:51:09
Increasing the output will reduce the available range.
Also, your DAC output is 2.6V vs 1.25 input sensitivity of your amp, which means that chances that you will not be able to get the full amp power output are small, not to mention that you probably rarely need the full output.

I guess I was not clear.
I am unable to achieve the volume I would like on some seedees. I am at the very max of the attenuator and the amp is not driven to full output and I would like it to be louder.

Don't worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will avoid you.

Unless your DAC has "Balanced Outputs" (which may give you the gain you're looking for) you may have to use an "active" preamp or more efficient loudspeakers
Either buy an active preamp, or amp with higher output and/or higher sensitivity.
Modifying the DAC will change it's sound and honestly 2.6V is very healthy output
