Please forgive the poor choice of words for the title of the thread. I have CDs that were ripped with dBpoweramp. I have 16/44.1 flac files that came from Deutche Grammaphone. I have 24/96 flac files from Linn Records. I don't use any gain Smart, Replay or anything else. The Transporter volume is set @ 100% out. When I select and play a file, I watch the Transporter VU meters. I have noticed that almost all of my classical music CDs that were ripped, require a fair amount of preamp volume (and are noticeably lower on the VU meter) compared to downloaded flac files as well as 320, 256 Internet radio. Is this normal? Is there a way to increase the "volume" at the rip stage? Should I care about this? TIA John
