Or have missed some finer point on how the benchmark works ?
While at it why not look at the whole gain structure. DAC2 is driving active speakers? A power amp ? If the sensitivity is adjustable at that end I would make it so the 100% on DAC2 would represent maximum enjoyable loudness with the quintets recordings you listen to . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Rasbery PI digi+ MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
