I have beem working on a new music server and streamer. My main goal is to reduce cost and complexity in my systems while getting the best sound quality I can. I am also challenging some of my assumptions along the way. A HUGE shoutout to @The Computer Audiophile for starting this many years ago with the CAPS systems. This video is a big part of my inspiration: https://youtu.be/3iORZDo_Bh8. From RMAF 11! I am doing a final assembly on a YouTube Live Stream of one of the servers shortly: Bob

Hi, First of all, sorry for my dumb question and most probably some may have asked the same. I have recently assembled an audio system using Raspberry Pi4 with Boss DAC v1.2. of which the output is linked to the "Volt+ with Stepped Attenuator" bundle powered by a 19v, 4.22A PSU via Capacitor Multiplier. I am using a set of 70w Sony passive bookshelf speaker for this setup. I didn't opt for the volt+ board which is directly attached to the BOSS DAC, and instead go for the amp bundle hoping that it would give a nicer output. however, it doesn't seems to be the case. with this setup, I've found that the volume is very soft, and it's barely able to hear with 50% volume (volumio volume 100%) and it started to sound ok with 75%, however, jitters start to be noticeable. I've tried playing different file format (DFF, DSD, FLAC, MP3, etc) and the results are all the same. and I have even tried the use the amp only by hocking it directly to a dedicated DAC player (Sony NW-A35), yet the result is still the same. I saw some video where 50w speakers were being used and are able to generate decent amount of volume. May i know if this volume output is normal or if there's any mistake that i've made or any compatibility (under-powered) between PSU and the AMP issue. Thank you
