Volume Control and DSD
Hendrik:
Actually Media Center has a feature to change the frequency response of the signal to adapt to those ear changes, its called "Loudness", but requires proper calibration of a reference volume level to work, and no outside volume change beyond what you calibrated for (ie. need to use Internal Volume).
Of course none of this works with DSD.
pschelbert:
good point, so anybody can test easily.
I use loudness correction in acourateconvolver, same principle, its an added piece of software running in conjunction with JRiver.

It is well known effect since ca. the 1930 (Flechter-Munson) that the frequency response of the ear is SPL-level dependent, thats why there is loudness correction.
It has nothing to do with the resolution of the signal or influence of volume control. The effect you will have as you noted if you have a super-duper precise volume control or not.
To get rid of that phenomen, exchange of the ears is needed :) which is rather difficult :)

This phenomenon is fixed with the high-quality analogue preamp ;D
[ Yes, I know how Flechter-Munson graph looks like, I said reducing the volume in JRiver from 100 to 93 is safe; down to 88 already will deteriorate the sound.. in contrary to analogue chain ]
pschelbert:
no, as we have here discussed in detail. You can lower over digital at least 50dB and still have high resolution.

Are you also listening sometimes. or just discussing? ;D
