Took a look at the AVS link; sure looks like this is the way it is across the board. Very discouraging actually.
I will be open minded about this, but at the moment, it sure looks to me like a defect in the player. If DD and DTS require a +10 bump, then the decoder should apply it. If DVD-A and SACD do not, then the player should NOT apply the bump.
It really makes things tough in certain set ups (LIKE MINE!!!!).
Anyone out there know where a set of SACD or DVD-A tests tracks can be found? How those sources balance would be useful information. Then again, my DVD-A software (ELP, Queen, and Big Phatt Band) sound good with the LFE boost I have to apply for DD and DTS.
