Good Post! I've found a number of Hi-Res downloads (24-88, 24-96) that are at ridiculously low levels. The VU meters barely move, and the music actually sounds a bit "lost".
I've used dbPoweramp more than once to cautiously apply a bit of fixed gaim, and the whole thing sounds better. I also retain a copy of the original file in case I mess up. I'm not changing things, so much as "re-scaling" them a bit to get them out of the dirt and up where they can be heard without running the gain on everything here at "11". This seems to work quite well, and I've yet to hear some objectionable sonic artifact as a result. Works for me! -- Curt962 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Curt962's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31949 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76680 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
