Are you familiar with the term dynamic range? The volume control of the amplifier controls the volume electronically at the pre-amp analog stage. It has no effect on the digital data. When the replaygain is set to low, the SB attenuate the volume at the digital stage by scaling down the digital word. This way a 16bit word becomes zero-padded 16bit word' which is equivalent to lower word length (14 bit or less). So by using the "standard" 89DB you are losing dynamic range as the entire 16bit data is no longer fully utilized The best way is to alter the replaygain data by adding a constant value of DB to all pre-set values. The replaygain standard hold have been implemented differently. It should match all tracks volume to the volume of the most loud track. The 89DB is way too low for 16bit sound. It should have been 96DB ! -- EB1000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EB1000's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82796 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
