Yea sadly this is true for the most popular genres . And they are obviously incompetent as radio station has for ages done their own multiband compression to equalise all levels . but I suppose that's its even worse besides the compression they tend to produce things with a very ear splitting penetrating sound on for example vocals to much in the upper midrnGe low treble " presence band " there is no soft sounds anymore .:/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98650 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
