I have the Casablanca / six shooter/ and dread 2.....all extreme dacs and 3x250 for the front 3 and 2x100 for back 2.....i am using the toshiba hdxa1 with firmware update...


I realize that for whatever reason, it is common that whether listening to dd+ or truehd, it is necessary to turn volume up ......


Having said that, why can i listen to my series 3 tivo at volume 1 or 2 at night and i hear things fine, but when i watch an hddvd, i have to turn the volume up to 35 on dd+ and 40+ with true hd? It just seems much too much....?

Hi dlgreen561,


I did a web search about this and I found a thread on AVS from last year which discusses this issue. It may be of help to you, here is the link;

For HD DVD movies, are you using analog outputs from the HD DVD player, or digital output from the HD DVD player? I've discussed this here in other threads, I use the analog output, it just sounds better with the higher DD+, and especially if Dolby True HD, bit rates (even though I've also got the Xtreme DACs).


Using multi-channel analog output, for many (not all) HD DVDs, I have to listen

with a fair amount higher volume level than I do for multi-channel SACD and DVD-A, which is a fair amount higher than if I listen to redbook CD or DVD movies (from digital connection).
