I suspect this is a totally lame question, but I figured there were enough audiophiles out there who play music from their computer (as opposed to piping it through an amplifier first) to give me a clue here.
When playing music from the computer, why does Winamp play my music significantly "louder" than iTunes at the same set volume levels? Is Winamp simply more efficient than iTunes at passing the signal to the sound card and out to my speakers? Does this disparity have anything to do with perceptible fidelity, particularly at higher volumes? There's something that bothers me about having to turn the volume up significantly when I use iTunes. This could have to do with my old school notions about not turning up the volume too much for fear of introducing some distortion. Should I use Winamp over iTunes for playback? Do I have an underpowered sound card? An inquiring mind wants to know. -- EthicalDilemma ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EthicalDilemma's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2108 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21020 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
