Thank you. My system is fine for cds, dvds - it's the (very) quiet blu-rays due to the wide dynamic range. I have no desire for a preamp - love the sound of the direct connection -using a gateway FX computer and idsd usb dac (which has a preamp option which increases volume but does not sound as good as the "direct" output). The boost does the trick with no distortion (at least to me)and I also tried no boost and the "normalization" option of mpchc which also makes the blu-rays louder. I just don't want to do anything which negatively affects the sound and am looking for advise re my best option. Initially thought I needed a more powerful amp but was told by the manufacturer of my speakers that this was most likely a "gain" issue. I don't care for powerdvd but with that the blu-rays are louder.
