Hi, Volume is set at MAX. I ddi nt change replay gain, so whatever the default setting is where it currently is at. Should I be looking at this setting? At this point the SB comes close to the perfomrance of the transport. There is some loss of ambient detail, and just a bit of energy in the treble as a whole. This is alot closer and hopefully I can get it dialed in a 100%.
