DAP with Car Stereo- Line Out Issue


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

Looking to make sense of this issue I am currently facing. I am using a Fiio M11 Pro in my Honda Accord Euro via the Headphone/Line Out into the Aux Input. I have noticed that the sound is louder when I use the line out option on the DAP but seems to have heavy distortion which is not experienced with the headphone out. My understanding was that either of the Line Out/Headphone out on the DAP should work in this setting. While trying to muck around with audio settings on the DAP I selected the "Adjustable Volume at Line Out" option which immediately fixed the distortion issue that I was facing earlier(even with the adjustable volume at max).

 

So what exactly is causing the distortion in the sound when Line out is used? Is the fixed audio signal/Voltage too much for the Aux input?

I use the line out from the DAP when using it with my headphone amp (iFi can Zen) with no issues whatsoever so I am trying to understand what the difference is between the two usage scenarios.

 

Cheers
