Headphoneus Supremus
No drop in volume with the D16 that I have heard.I think the point is playing DSD native files and the noticeable volume drop.
I remember this on my Ferrum-Holo desktop gear with Susvara bringing the 8 Watt amp to its upper limit when wanting to apply extra Equing with additional digital headroom decreasing volume further to avoid clipping.
Wondering how some D16 will perform here, guess it's playing native DSD without volume drop off
