kind of embarrassed to asked as I feel I should know the answer, but unless I ask, I can't learn...
why is the audio playback level different when switching sources on my devialet? I have it set so the output level is -40.0 on the Devialet when selecting a new source, but depending on the source, I may have to increase the volume to -15 to -20 (Apple TV air playing Tidal or Apple Music from iPad app) on one source vs -30 (on my CD player) to be at the same dB "normal" listening level.
the ATV connected via the Toslink needs the Devialet cranked up the most (-15 to -20 for normal listening). the CD player connected via "Analog line outputs" (-25) are next, and then the same CD player connected via Digital coax (-30) requires the least amount of gain increase to be at my normal listening level.
is it the devialet input or the devices output that is driving the "loudness"?
