What I'm doing is to set the gain control on my Mytek a little louder than usual, and then do some little attenuation on computer, if needed. If you go "down" about 6dB or so via digital attenuation from the source side, it cannot be noticable regarding sound quality.

Brooklyn has two different gain controls, Analog AND digital (or bypass which makes sense only if you have a preamp). The digital control gives you the same thing as you expect, but it has to be done via it's remote (or dial). So, it's very practical and already implemented. I personally think this is even easier than USB HID volume control you are up to. My2c

Speaking about PS... I've seen here a lot of messages about PS upgrades, and - honestly - do not understand why is no one speaking about the BEST DC power supply - a (high power, motorcycle or car) Battery which is during critical listening unplugged from charger. Costs less and should sound best. Am I wrong about this kind of PS?

Yes, therefore I wanted to ask some additional questions... Vega is extremely smooth - so if Brooklyn get's these kind of smooothness - this is what I'm searching for. Mytek 192 is very musical, but Vega is even more "relaxed", but not in a way that's less resolution oriented. So, please share some A-B impressions...

Really an improvement over Auralic Vega? This would be of very much interest for me, as an owner of DSD192. Have listened Vega in my setup and it was a more refined DAC than my Mytek 192 Thinking about upgrade and if Brooklyn is really more refined than Vega (what is "better"?), this would be really an excellent product. Can you be a little more specific in comparing the Vega with Brooklyn?
