You need ReplayGain, which is a metadata-based loudness adjustment system that does not affect bit processing or sound quality. I know BluOS, WiiM, and Audirvana offer this feature, but it is not commonly available across platforms. Roon has a similar function called DSP volume leveling.
Sound level variations Qobuz - up to about 15/20 dB, need to adjust preamp volume by track
I have been going hot and cold on Qobuz for 3/4 years - subscribe, cancel, subscribe, cancel. I now have great streaming device and DAC. Started subscription and notice that I have to adjust volume significantly between album to album, sometimes track to track.
Much larger sound level differences from track to track than both vinyl and CD/SACD.
How do others feel about this and deal with. Thank you!!!
Will this go away if I pick another streaming service like Tidal?
