Rather, the comparison you are doing is apples vs. oranges, because the CD is presumably feeding 100% of its line output into your system's amp. That should be roughly the same level you get if you set the Duet to 100%. If you're setting the Duet much lower than that, then of course it won't be as loud as the CD for any given volume setting on the Sony.
