    So how do you do the level-matching, please? Does one need a scope and a test-tone, or is it easier than that?

    Just turn the volume down 2 clicks!

    If you were really anal about it, you'd use an SPL meter, but that seems overkill to me.

    Steve,

    I feel in this case, Ian uses a T/T and an SPL meter, ITFR the 64 is +2/3db higher output

    Some AV processor has variable voltage for the different inputs. If you do feel anal ...I mean curious enough to borrow a SPL meter there is mucho fun to play with. It is like getting a light meter when you think you are getting bit serious with your photography hobby.

    Yesterday I measured my room temperature rise by 3 degree C when all the toys are playing. Problem is opening the window suck out all the bass. :( Is that what you expert call Helmholtz resonator bass trap?

    My DAC64 (MkII) gets very hot - especially in summer in Lisbon where the temp. outside reaches 45C and inside the house is (no air con :cry: ) reaches about 35C. It gets so hot that it's bordering on uncomfortable to touch for more than a few seconds, perhaps not quite as hot as a Class A amp but getting close. That they get pretty hot is normal, but it shouldn't cause any problems.

    Michael.

    I can't help thinking that's bad design, anything that gets that hot ought to be in a larger case with heatsinks and ventilation. And it should have an on-off switch (which I understand the Mk2 does).

    Will have a Mk2 to play with in a couple of weeks.

    Is it my failing eyesight, or does the naked woman in Julian's picture have clothes on?
