i have my denon 3803/2200 combo calibrated (w/avia) identically in both the digital and analog domains. my redbook cds sound fine, and i can hardly tell a difference between their analog and digital playback, so i know that the sub calibration, if not correct, is at least identical for both my analog and digital connections. my dvd-a's sound great with these same settings. as far as i can tell, the sub output sounds "correct" for dvd-a. however, when playing sacd's, the sub output with the same exact settings is NOT "correct"; it's weak. i can remedy this by adding back 5-10dBs (not sure exactly what's the "correct" amount really) to the subwoofer output, either at the player or at my receiver.
is this a known characteristic of sacds? (that their sub output requires a 5-10dB boost over your otherwise properly calibrated settings?)
