I'm relatively new to the SACD Multichannel game.
I've observed some SACD 5.1 channel layers with extra bass levels (~10 dB) relative to the SACD stereo layer. I assume this is due to some gain mistakes in either source or equipment w.r.t. the LFE (.1) channel.
Not all 5.1 discs have the issue. So far I've heard this on discs from around 2003, in particular Blood on the Tracks (Dylan) and the Sony RS500 SACD sampler.
My equipment is: Oppo 103, Yamaha RX-A2050, connected via HDMI. Issue is seen using both DSD and PCM from the Oppo.
Any ideas? Is this a known issue? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks, steve
