Should I Use Low Gain on GoVibe Petite Headphone Amp?

[vjbab 0]

I have a 4th gen ipod paired with UE Triple fi 10 Pro and I am currently using GoVibe Petite Headphone Amp + DAC as the amp. My question here is, what gain setting should I use. Amp does support low gain 6dB and high gain 9.5 dB. Just wondering what setting to use and how does it affect the sound quality.

The low gain setting would make the pairing with TF10 better as the TF10 are quite sensitive earphones. You may not want to pick up more than want you want to hear.

Yea I felt the same but didn't have a clear idea on the benefit of changing it. Thank you.

Opt for low gain if the amp is able to drive your headphones to sufficiently loud levels at that setting. Better dynamics and control.
