OK, WTF am I doing wrong
tmazz:
That's good Don, it looks like that unit will do the 5.1 to 2.0 conversion for you.
I bought one of those iFi Zen Bluetooth units for my son last year and I was very impressed by it as well. The also have an excellent USB DAC in the same line. I know I guy who bought one of them as an upgrade from the $5k PS Audio Perfectwave DAC that he owned. Yeah it's limited in that it only has a single digital input and that is USB, but if you can deal with that (as most of us who use a Roon endpoint can) its pretty amazing that at least one guy thought tat the sub $200 iFi DAC outperformed a $5,000 unit.

Well, it just keeps gettin better and better.
Got the JTech in today. Hooked up, put on the head phones and good news, bad news.
Does the unit improve the sound, absolutely. Bottom end is better. Quieter, without a doubt. Background noise has diminished by a noticeable amount. BUT the sound has gone down by quite a noticeable amount. The cable box and the IFI Zen receiver is as close to the same as you can get but the JTech unit is quite a bit lower in output. I have to go up say from five o'clock to almost eight o’clock on the dial. Wife hates that. So now gotta figure out where to go next. Get the same volume from the tele as the cable box.
Any suggestions would be great.

Move the knob.

Don I have the same issue with different inputs that al go through a single HT Rcvr. The DVD player is a different volume level than the cable box . And even within the cable there is a difference in the volume level between watching a show in real time and watching it recorded on the DVR.
Unfortunately I think Dave has the right idea. Get used to moving the knob.

Don,
Think of where you started with this and be quite grateful that you have arrived with this good result for $75 or so. AN gave you an inexpensive solution and I would just get used to cranking up that knob just a bit more and enjoying it :thumb:
