Priceless reply. But I don't think anyone answered your actual question. You should expect XLR outputs to be +6 dB above RCA connections. In addition, but more variably, -nominal- line level between RCA (consumer) and XLR balanced (professional) can vary up to 12-14 dB. Maximum levels differ as well. Its variable because not all vendors implement it the same way, unfortunately. Further insight for SB3/Tp is available on the 'ConnectToPowerAmp' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/ConnectToPowerAmp) wiki page. So level matching with a sound meter as you have done is critical for testing, and you should not expect equal settings on the two devices for different connection types. -- Eric Carroll Transporter-Pass Labs X2.5-Bel Canto Evo6 Gen II-Paradigm Signature S8 SB3-Bryston 3B SST-Paradigm Reference Studio 60 v.4 SB3-Kingrex T20-Paradigm Reference Studio 20 v.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Carroll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9293 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61686 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
