Thanks for putting me right; I've now set the SB3's volume to around 37 (leaving some leeway for going up to 11). As I said, I was happy enough with the sound quality before, so I'll probably be delirious now! Alas, the wife's in bed now, so "full subjective testing" will have to wait until tomorrow. :-) -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22273 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
