Oh yeah there it was ! the old tread with archimagos measurements , thanks :) They concur very well with the other results I've found ,including the papers I linked to . So in practice I will no longer lock the volume at 100% in my squeezebox ,but use it at 95%-97% or something like that ,when listening to modern music where I suspect hot mastering. Maybe it not so,strange that the effect has gone under the radar for so long . It is apearently well known by professionals . The papers I linked to are from 2006 but I suspect it's known long before that but not scrutinised in detail . Usually sneezed at as an over is an over the master is broken and your equipment should need to be able to handle those signals ! That's was probably ok when we had decent masters for the majority of music . But now when a lot of music actually are broken it gets attention again . And practically every DAC is some multibit delta sigma thing with internal src probably for good reasons too , but they are not happy with broken masters and apearently attenuate the problem . And modern DAC's have enough SN/ratio for everyone so "wasting" some dB for some sanity marginal should not be a problem . Maybe is just lock the Touch volume at 95-97% all the time I do have playlists . Maybe I dig into the code base to see what squeezebox % is in dB , that would be good to know . Also I think made an error . This will ofcourse be of interest even if you use the Squeezebox internal DAC . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
