I have the Essence STX in which the analog out is RCA. I also have the M-Audio CX5s. I had my CX5s hooked up via unbalanced RCA to TRS and when listening to music at a "normal" loudness, the dial on the Essence STX control panel was around 14-15. The CX5 also has an RCA input so you can use them as completely unbalanced. I recently(last night) acquired some nicer(build quality, connectors) RCA cables, and decided to use those to connect the CX5s to the STX. Now the volume has "doubled". Whereas I used to listen at 14-15, I now listen with the dial at 7-8. Is there any explanation as to why? I am completely at a loss as to why this might have happened. Any help would be appreciated.
