Thanks for the comment.  This aspect is very interesting.  The only
Pro/Consumer settings are seemingly for S/PDIF configuration.

The monitor setting in Ardour is at 0.0dB.  This way I figured what is
heard is what the master bus fader is at, and not adding any other
amplitude modification.  Since it is likely that the DAC is set at
+4dB, wouldn't this mean that a 1010LT fader compensation of -4dB would
be sufficient to bring the default out at 0dB ?
