Agree, but my question is:
since my DAC is capable to control the volume and the documentation says
that in case the player is capable of controlling the volume by delegate
the DAC... then it is better.
Looking aroud, seems that letting the player modify the volume it is
called "software volume control", while controlling the volume by tellig
to do it to the DAC is called "hardware volume control".

My DAC come with a driver for Windows that install a little app in the
Windows bar and so, for example with JRiver, I disable the software
volume control and control the volume with this little app that
communicate to the DAC itself.

Is there any way with pCP to do that? I mean disble the software volume
control and enable the hardware one?
