Hmm, I'm not quite sure which bit you think is 'wrong'. This isn't gong to be another of your 'can't hear -144dB' faux pas is it? Best practice IMO, is to use the combination of analogue and digital volume control that sounds best to you. Both will affect the sound in slightly different ways depending on your system and your ears. sleepysurf;290954 Wrote: > I presume you've checked to ensure "replaygain" or "smartgain" are not > inadvertantly turned on Good point. It's possible that if you have replay gain tags in your FLAC files they would sound different to a WAV file (with no tags), converted to FLAC on the fly. -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46229 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
