Before the tread turns to another philosophical discussion about formats, I want to report my findings. Of course Sean and other knowledgeable members were right; there should not be any difference in sound level depending on the source. Guided by the answers I made some measurements yesterday. At the beginning the difference was clear 3 to 5 dB louder on the SPL meter and RTA when the same file was played from the soundcard or player than from the SB. What I haven't told you all is that I'm using the Inguz DRC plug-in. I was assuming that when the filter is set to none the plug-in is not acting in any way. I was wrong. Even if the EQ module is unchecked in slimserver, when InguzFlac is checked in file types the sound produced is lower in level. This explains all but how the plug-in acts. I will address this issue in another tread Thanks you all for the guidance and replays. Chris
