You would think the Behringer would automatically add headroom if it thinks it needs it. I would set Behringer flat and only attenuate a few hot peaks. Sometimes less is more. Lot of experts say don't go for flat. It won't sound that great and it's impossible to achieve anyway. I'm a little confused though. If you are using Behringer in the transporter processor loop then you are only dealing with 2 channels. If you are only dealing with 2 channels then something had to mix the 6 channels down to 2 channels. If that's what you are doing I would look there. Often when you mix multichannel down to 2 channel it won't sound the best. It's very hard to do well. Are you letting a squeezebox plugin do that? I tried the mix down of Brother In Arms using DVD Audio extractor and it looked quite good as far as clipping and compression goes. But I did not try listening to the mix down. If you are limited to 2 channel you might just try the CD side. It may sound better than mixing down the Hi-Res MultiChannel. It's nice when DVDA disc has a 2 channel 24/96 track but most don't. If you are mixing down, I suspect that is what's making it not sound the greatest and not the actual clipping or what every you have beringer doing. -- mswlogo XP > Cat5 > Transporter/DuetController > SPDIF > Meridian G68 > DSP6000, DSP5500HC, DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > DuetReceiver > SPDIF > Meridian G91 > DSP5000 'My Transporter Setup' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=350741&postcount=45) 'Hitch Hikers Guide to Meridian' (http://www.meridianunplugged.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78964 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
