Rasmus and Brasewel,   Thanks for your input :)   I just thought it was quite strange as compared to my little dot. But I must truly admit, when the volume is set between 12-13.00, its marvelous.       btw, Jan Meier is such a nice guy and I didnt know he was a dutchmen as well...

MacedonianHero,   Im using the beyer t1 with the Concerto. Im not used to loud music at all, but the only way for me to have a "full" perception, I need to set the volume quite high on the concerto.   The little dot mkiii I never set the volume past 10 o clock.   I have a MF V-dac...

Is it normal I have to put the volume to 01.00 for me to enjoy music at the right volume?   Gain setting is set on high.   Source: eac's through foobar wasapi 16 bits.   thnx for replies
