Late Nigth Mode may be to mimick the similar function that many AC3 (dolby digital) Recievers and processors have , for movies you can do this to not wake the whole house . Movies actually has dynamic range , the sad situation is that movies even in lossy formats as ac3 or dts sound better than many popular recordings But yeas it should be in the playback device :) next goal, universal use of replaygain Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98441 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
