Low output / just ok sound?

Just started experimenting with Hi Rez downloads. I have a few from Acoustic Sounds, HD Tracks and Sound Liason. I am using Windows 7 pro using the Asio driver setting outputting via USB to an Oppo 105D. What I have noticed is I must use what I think is a significant more amount of volume to match the levels from the cd output of the 105. The downloads sound ok but not as good as by best SACD or CD's. Other than upgrading the above equipment is there anything I can do? Is the lower output normal.Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hey Bufford.

Could you tell us more about the computer you are using, the software used to playback?

I never used a 105D. Do you know if the USB input is asynchronous or synchronous?

As Zd said, I wouldn't worry at all about differences in volume.
