A well-known issue (there was a good paper on it at AES109 in 2000, 15 years ago), but some DACs still don't deal with it very well. We all also agree that if you turn the volume down by 3-6 dB (or let replaygain do it for you), it becomes a non-issue. > *How squeezebox volume works > > *How replaygian works , by adjusting the same volume by values specified > in the tags . Usually down by circa 10dB in some rarecases up due to > the "target volume" Right. All replaygain does is turn the volume control up or down, just as if we would be doing it manually. This, I think, is the essential misunderstanding by callesoroe. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
