Volume limits in audio settings issue

Richard Tuur
I have a new n130 which I started using with my Rotel Michi X3. In the “audio” section in the BluOS app settings there is a “volume limits” slider which goes from -90 to 0 db. It will not go higher than -30db. Why is this? 1) Why is it stuck there? 2) Is it related to the slider on the unit itself? 3)Should I use it anyway or set it to “fixed” as I mostly use my amp’s volume control Please explain its function in detail as there is nothing in the extremely basic manual

    Hi Richard - for your setup, I would recommend disabling volume limits and reset them to the defaults then used FIXED output to let the amplifier control the volume.

    Thanks. That’s what I’m doing now anyway. However I’m still curious about the original question. I’m one of those people who needs to know the “why’s” of things. Not just the solution.
    But I do appreciate your suggestion.

    The WHY is because as much as we know you love the music, we also know your neighbours may not.

    It’s not that I play loud. In fact due to a hearing issue with my left ear I CAN’T play much louder than 70db.
    The why is I dislike when manufacturers decide something for the consumer but neglect to explain the finer details. I guess they figure we are all at the level of the lowest common denominator. I prefer to be treated like a knowledgeable adult.
    All I want to know is why it’s limited to -30db. Why not just make the slider end there then.
    Apologises for the rant and thanks for the “support”
