This might be a very noob question, but I am new to the audiophile world and wanted to get this for my PC. I recently got mine and connected it, drivers installed fine and I let the amp warm up. I putmy headphones on and it was very quiet even with the volume on both the PC and unit turned all the way up. As soon as I pushed in the input button and switched it to the DAC only, the sound worked perfect. Only when I have the input extended (going through the amp and DAC) does the sound get super quiet. Is there something I am doing wrong? I read the instructions and it said when the input is extended, it is running through the amp and DAC. Is this really the case?

Doom_MiI think the instruction manual is wrong. When the 'input' button is pushed in, SDAC is connected (you have use USB connection). If it is extended, SDAC is not used (you have to use RCA input from other DAC or preamp). At least my unit is working like that.
