I think you are proposing using the Touch's digital volume control to
equalize outputs, but I would prefer to avoid that since this is
supposed to be for a test of sound quality so I really don't want the
Touch modifying the source.  However, this gives me an idea: since
sound quality doesn't matter for the calibration, I can avoid high
level noise from the speakers while still using a suitably high preamp
volume setting by simply turning the Touch volume down quite low for
the calibration.  Assuming the Touch analog and digital out volumes
track each other precisely, I could calibrate with noise at like 20 but
then listen to music at 100, with the same preamp volume settings.  That
should work great to avoid cat distress.  Thanks!  (If this is what you
actually meant, then sorry I did not understand it as such.)
