Does it matter where you adjust the volume of headphones?

For most headphones, there are three ways to change the audio volume: on the headphone itself, on the pc/laptop/tablet and in the program you are running on it. Does the audio quality change depending on where you adjust it? And is there an ideal setting? (Should you put your pc on 100&#37;? 75&#37;? 50&#37;? Or is it all the same?)

Generally speaking, you want the highest output input into the amplifier. So, turn up your software first, then the hardware.

(Volume that’s turned “down” in software just results in a lower level output, so if that’s not loud enough and you start cranking up a preamp to compensate, you’ll get more noise.)
