Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know this is only the case when the peak level doesn't allow for positive gain, because it would cause clipping. So, although primitive, it would only apply to albums/tracks with a very high peak level. I looked at the peak level for several classical albums. It seems this is given as a number between 0 and 1. Most of my classical albums have a peak level around 0.9. So this would leave 19% volume gain without clipping. But maybe this reasoning is totally wrong. -- Teus de Jong ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Teus de Jong's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15415 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71138 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
