This topic has been hashed over before. It is not a 'problem' particular to Devialet. And there is a loudness feature which you can set up in the configurator, and assign a button to. The contour boosts some frequencies, compensating in part for the way ears hear at different sound pressure levels.
The same principle was considered to be a part in the Audioquest cable controversy; the more expensive cables were apparently demonstrated at increasing volumes, albeit slight increases. The natural subjective reaction is that 'louder' is 'better'.
Compared to my two previous Naim systems, the D120 is very good at low volumes. My ears, my music, my system, my setting.
And lets not confuse the desire of some to have integration of Roon with a lack of customer support. Totally different issue.
