RE: Please help me troubleshoot my new SET

"He is suggesting that the DAC is putting out too high a voltage ..."

Can't you just turn the volume control down?

If the power amp is clipping because it's getting too much audio signal, the only answer is to attenuate the source signal. Unless you wanted to re-design the power amp circuit for less gain but then there might not be enough for the phono pre output.

Do you have anyway to test the amp for output power?

If the amp is making the rated output power before clipping then it's probably not the problem and you're just playing it too hard.

My 2 cents.
