Software: depends. As I wrote before: in iPeng it depends on the downstream hardware, software-side BOTH the volume and replay gain control are separate, I could imagine it's similar on Android devices; you mention SqueezeLite. BUT (a huge "but"): if it's separate, then replay gain will very, very likely be separate, too, and just be factored into the volume level because you exactly do not want to change the bitstream if you don't have to. There should never be any difference between how replay gain is being handled to how volume gain is being handled. So either not playing at 100% volume already fixes your clipping issues or both do not. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104121 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
