Problem: 0dB vs Hardware Volume?
#2
Technically speaking Fixed (0dB) = Hardware at 100

If using Hardware or Software volume in moOde along with a downstream volume control on a Amp/Pre you should calibrate overall system volume for least attenuation in moOde.

1. Turn Amp volume all the way down
2. Set moOde volume to 100
3. Play a track that represents what you typically listen to
4. Gradually raise the Amp volume to a level that is the loudest you would ever listen at
5. Reduce moOde volume to your typical listening level

Usually after calibrating in this way moOde volume will be around 85 or 90 for typical listening level. This is very little attenuation and will result in no audible distortion even at lower volume levels.
