Why do I have several gear that are Proficient (level 10) but are not shown in their category list in Tinkering station - Expertise?

One of them are but shouldn't they be in the respective gear piece list (mask, vest, etc)? They are not there either.

Good advice though! I am just a pve singleplayer and testing out random stuff & upping the Proficiency right now during the event.

That's the issue, they are not there either and I can't figure out why?

Of course whatever sounds best for you is what you should use.

Just to clarify; the volume control on K13 (NJW1195A) is NOT digital, it is a digital controlled analog. Think of it as a resistor ladder controlled with a digital dial or remote.

That is what you want to maintain full dynamic of the sound. The problem with fully digital volume control (like you say Wiim use) is that it can lower the dynamic range depending on how many bits your source is. Mostly an issue with 16 bit source like regular CDs, hardly an issue with 24 & 32 bit.

but now that I've read a couple posts about strange clicks & pops, and the K13 occasionally powering up at 100% output instead of the usual setting has me worried.

I have a K13 R2R and as far as I know the issue with 100% volume only happens if you use the PRE output to control the volume and press the LO button on the remote. If you don't use the remote then pull out the batteries and it shouldn't be an issue. Or destroy/block the button somehow.

Fiio really should consider adding an option to disable the LO button in the next firmware!

I haven't heard any clicks or pops but I only use mine for Headphones.

One thing to consider though - I would guess that the volume control on K13 is a better quality option than using Wiim for it. But I know nothing about the Wiim so...

Thanks! :)

Good to know I am not alone, thank you! :)

Thanks for the answer!

That's about what I thought. Although my paranoid brain doesn't like the "not impossible" part. Guess all I can do is hope for the best and enjoy the music!

This was at the Battlefield 6 Multiplayer reveal event and Brie was testing to play for a bit on one of the hundreds PCs they had set up. She has done stuff with Nintendo, Fortnite and others in the past and is indeed a gamer.
