Title: Qobuz and JRiver Volume
Post by: Bioman on November 10, 2021, 04:08:31 pm
Please move if posted to the wrong forum.  I like JRiver, I like Qobuz.  I do not currently have them integrated using JRiver.  When using each separately I notice that I need the volume much higher (around 10 Db.) in JRiver than Qobuz for the same tune.  Wondering if this is normal or am I doing something wrong with JRiver?

Maybe Volume Leveling.  https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Volume_Leveling

I looked at it.  It seems to refer to playing music in the JRiver application; I can see where that might be nice if it does not muck with the dynamic range.  I might try this for JRiver and see how it behaves.  However, it does not appear to have anything to do with Qobuz running as a separate and distinct application unless I am missing something.  Appreciate the reference though.

You can run any separate application and feed it into MC's WDM Driver (on the wiki).  That might do what you want.

That was the next step I was going to try; I am a little hesitant as I read reports of quirky hard to fix issues associated with doing this.  Will do it if that is what is needed.

On a side note.  What complicates all of this is that I am recently using Dirac Live 3 DPS which introduces another link in the chain. 

PS, Dirac DSP is amazing.  I have used others before which do well below 300hz; this does astonishingly well full range.  The improvement from this $350 program eclipsed several high-cost upgrades I did recently.
