I don't notice any lack of dynamics personally - far from it the sound is far better. I guess in my setup the boom and L-R mismatch are worse than any negative I'll get from EQ. I've got plenty of room on the amp too so more than happy to run it louder.
Agreed. Initially the -9dB attenuation in signal was confusing : do I lose something ?
Actually with 64bits processing you don't, -9dB is only 3 bits...
Still there seems to be a bad feeling about having to set the volume much higher. Our nerd brain says "this signal is weaker than it was before this convolution thing". In the Devialet configurator, I have increased the "volume at start" setting by 9dB which removed the frustration
