Understood. Now you are going to think I'm bananas, but I've just converted a FLAC to ALAC and played them side by side (Touch, SBS 7.5 nightly standard convert.conf) ... and the ALAC is clearly quieter by about 2-3dB. I have Replaygain OFF, but I notice that the flac and alac files have track gain of -3.18dB... hmmm... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
