Aurender N100h low volume

Hi all,

My new-to-me N100 output is super low connected via USB (only option) to BlackIce FSX DSD TubeDAC. 

I’ve reset DAC volume in the app multiple times, powered down, unplugged, restarted etc.  as per their online help and AI questions. I have initiated email support but the auto-reply was they have a backlog.

I’m told the issue is a low level linux USB handshake issue but wondered if anyone has encountered the same issues and managed to fix it?

Thank you for reading this.

I have an Aurrender N100 connected to an Ayre QB9 Twenty and a Woo WA5 amp. 

That is a long list of equipment you have there. Are you running without a preamp?

My recommendation would be to reach out to black ice audio. I doubt the problem is in the Aurender 
By the way, what usb cable are you using? I’ve seen issues with some audiophile USB cables in my system.

@audphile1 thx for the note. I’m running the DAC into a T+ A integrated. Worked just fine with BS Node. 
 

USB cable is DH Labs.

I’ll definitely call BlackIce tomorrow.

thx

PS: yes a long list but I do keep it current and I’ve seen too many posts where someone says “it would be easier to help you if you created a VS” 

But point taken, I have reorganized and edited, any better?
