Maybe I misunderstood - If you look at the OPs second post then I think that's what he means - though obviously CDs are recorded at different levels.
"Are the variable voltages between digital sources? I find some digital sources and even different CDs on the same source sound louder at the same volume setting on the DEV"
When previously comparing iMac/AIR to Naim NDX/coax the comparison was made difficult because latter was definitely louder. I haven't tried this comparison with the v 8 firmware.
