Where did you have the volume set prior to running the levels?

I notice a difference when switching inputs. The Sony ES2000 SACD is louder through the toslink than analogue IC's. Only slight difference with the OPPO between analogue and HDMI with the Dish receiver audio being slightly higher via HDMI than analogue.

If I go by the numbers on the 975 it does seem I have it turned up higher than other pieces from the past but achieving the desires listening levels has never been an issue.
