One source delivering higher volume.


Hi.
I have an arcam dive D70. I was connecting new equipment and I realized that the DVD source delivers higher volume and more open sound than the other sources (cd, aux, etc). I checked switching components around and the same results. The DVD output delivers a different sound level with different timbre.
Is this normal? Is this source supposed to be more open than the others?
I will appreciate your input.

I just had this conversation with a friend. He claims that many combination players put the focus on DVD with better DACs while the CD portion of the player uses lower grade parts. A difference in volume has to be higher voltage for DVD also.
