Since my collection covers a range of styles with a wide spread of perceived loudness, I find RG to be very useful, and would prefer it not to clip my classical albums.

Yes, I deliberately prepared an extreme example so as to make it absolutely obvious that the clipping occurs. I also subsequently uploaded a short extract of a real recording (Apassionata Sonata) that also exhibits clipping when RG is used on the Squeezebox. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36234 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
