I thought there was a bug posted a while ago about VU meters and replay gain not making things look right. (no audio problem, just VU meter problem) Turn off replay gain, and then do the A/B comparison.. "not dynamic" is probably just mis-matched gain. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30898 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
