I am a bit of a beginner when it comes to PC audio, a friend of mine set up JRiver on my PC as well as DBPower.
I already copied a few 100's cd's.
Now doing some listening it is obvious that the volume level from the PC is higher than my cd player.
I want to have my PC and CD player sound level to match to do instant comparison, which is the best way to do it. I estimate that my PC level is about 6-8 db louder than my cd player.
Thanks in advance.

If I had do instant switching comparison often, I would DIY a selector with trimmers and active buffer stages.Or buy a pre-amp with a good volume chip such as a Mark Levinson pre-amp.
The difference between 2.0V and 2.1V can be easily felt.
So it is inconvenient to level match with a typical potentiometer.
These days, I do not much do instant switching for sound comparison. I rely on the feeling of music over a longer period.

2.0 to 2.1 v is +0.4 dB. For a valid comparison you would want a difference less than +0.1 dB, which would work out to be about 2.0 to 2.02 v.
