Need recommendation for Amarra sQ Gain Fader


I noticed that when I play an Internet station (like Pandora) using Amarra sQ, I had to increase the volume on my integrated amplifier to get the same volume when I play without Amarra sQ.

I then discovered that I had to change the Gain Fader setting to 0.0. I still do not understand how my Gain Fader setting was set to a large minus number that required me to increase the volume on my integrated amplifier. Maybe it was a Amarra sQ default setting.

The Gain fader setting range is +6 to -60dB. What exactly is the Gain Fader setting and what is the recommended Gain Fader setting I should use?

I agree I use my DAC as a pre amp - So far I am playing with the slider usually between -10 to -8
