I was also curious at what levels folks were listening with the DA11.
Typically I find myself somewhere between 28 and 31 (HD800's) ... sometimes a bit lower and sometimes a bit higher depending on how the CD was mastered.
CDs that are mastered too loud drive me nuts: they sound flat, compressed, lifeless, etc. ... makes me want to get my money back!
