Lower Volume from DAC/AMP? (alien.top)

I've just picked up a Fiio BTR3k, I love it. But, the volume out of the 3k compared to even my laptop is way less. I don't listen to music loud, usually 65% MAX, but I can comfortably listen to my 7hz Salnotes zero at 85% out of the Fiio. The same goes with my Grado 60x's. The btr3k gives a noticeable bump in sound quality, especially with the zeros and the convenience is amazing. Does anybody know why this is happening?

Volume percentage levels on different devices are not related at all.
