Devialet WiFi Bit Perfect?

For some reason. when DSD gets converted to PCM, the level drops by 6 dB so DSD doesn't sound as loud as the PCM version of the same track.  I''ve ripped both the PCM and DSD layers of my SACDs and I have to raise the listening level of all of the DSD files by around 6 dB for then to sound as loud as the PCM version. Kal Robinson commented on this recently in one of his reviews in Stereophile and I can remember a long time ago reading an explanation of why it occurs but I can't remember where or what the reason was. You can get around the drop in volume by having Roon do the DSD to PCM conversion and increase the level by 6 dB in the process or just turn turn the volume up on the Devialet when you listen to DSD files. I just turn the volume up.

good to know that DSD drops by 6 dB in loudness, I didn't know that, just because I never cared about DSD. I'll keep an eye on such albums, could really be something nice!
