This is an important factor to why it so hard to compare stuff , you seems very fascinated by the Beatles re releases for example was it not one 24bit version that was very similar to a 16bit version but 0,2dB louder . A more common problem is for example comparing CD players in a hifi shop or comparing a Squeezebox to a CD player . The simple fact that line level sources rarely have exactly the same output level have escaped many . Which makes just keeping the amplifier level identical insufficient to make a fair comparison ! And this is how most people do when listening in the hifi shop . I never been to a hifi shop where they try to fix this :) But then again many clerks in these shops are wannabe clowns idolising the hifi press and always tries to peddle a bunch of cables on top off your purchase , cables that has far higher margin than the product , oops . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98610 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
