:) It depends on what your audio equipment after
the 1010LT is
looking for. Most anything with RCA inputs thinks that -10db actual
level is it's version of 0db. Most profesional equipment (balanced
inputs) thinks of +4db as it's 0db (often having headroom up to
around +30db). So if you are going rca out to rca in, you should
assume it is "looking for" -10db which means setting your DAC level
to -14db.
No, it's less than -12.
-10dBV is < -7.8dBu
+4dBu is < +1.8dBV
4 + 7.8 = 11.8
10 + 1.8 = 11.8
