Hi, I own the great Surround Master v2 and use it to play back SQ encoded material. I use two "Devialet Expert PRO" stereo amplifiers, one for the front speakers and one for the rear speakers. The amplifiers display the volume levels in dB, so I can precisely set the volume levels.
For SACD surround playback I have determined the correct front-rear volume settings using some test tones provided by the player.
But when playing SQ (and also QS) encoded material via the Surround Master with the same settings the rear speakers always appear to be too loud.
The Surround Master v2 has knobs to adjust the level of its outputs individually but for doing this correctly I need a reference SQ and QS material that has equal level on each channel. Ideally some encoded WAV or FLAC file to properly set up the Surround Master v2 balance.
Is something available for download?
Thanks, Thomas
