I'm familiar with the difference between gain structure and level setting, but I'm uncertain what you mean in this context? Obviously you don't want to introduce unnecessary amplification only to attenuate it back down, if that's what you mean?

what I meant was that lisbeth mentioned her system is calibrated to 85dB while you mentioned that jriver aims at 83dB, we know what sort of signal jriver uses but we don't know what signal lisbeth is using that results in an 85dB target. It might therefore be that there is an actual difference reported when using the different signals and hence different trims required to hit those levels or they might report as similarly on target. Hence I was just calling out, not very clearly admittedly, what you've mentioned in that one shouldn't necessarily go and adjust channel trims if you see a difference here.

it was this thread -> http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=93578.msg646991#msg646991

@lisbethfox here's another thread you might find useful - http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=95807.msg660401#msg660401
Note the advice to use "Peak Level Normalize" to enable jriver to adjust for intersample peaks correctly (and hence the require to use audio analysis). This may not be related to your problem but worth knowing anyway.

That makes sense, thanks for clarifying.

It may not entirely solve her issue, but enabling either adaptive volume (with peak level normalize) or volume leveling will certainly help her situation as many movies and audio have intersample overs and so will clip (even with no DSP enabled) at 100% volume.
For my part, I heartily recommend volume leveling (especially when you ahve a calibrated system) as it makes adjusting the volume to account for different mastering much less frequent, which I appreciate (but it also requires doing audio analysis first).
