The TP digital volume control (and ReplayGain if you are using that) is before the S/PDIF FX loop, so you are sending a variable level to the DRC when you raise/lower the TP volume.
DRC normally lowers the level even further (to buy some headroom to avoid clipping on boosted freq dips). I know Cliveb will say I am being ultra-cautious, but I believe that keeping the digital level high out of the FX send into the DRC will give better quality results. Doesn't the DEQ have a level control? Worth experimenting to see if there is a noticeable difference. I run my digital at 100% (except for replaygain - -12dB max) into my TACT. The TACT further cuts level by about 6dB to gain the headroom in needs in my setup/room. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
