I've just had a friend round and been showing off my Hi-Fi, which included cranking the sound up higher than I ever had before. Then when I went back from iTunes via Airplay to DAB, I forgot to turn the volume down and had a really loud blast before I could adjust it.
It's difficult for me to tell, but the sound seems a little rougher and I can hear a very slight hiss in the background during speech. It might have always been there of course, and I just wasn't listening for it then.
I've almost exclusively played DAB since I've owned it, so I've been listening mostly to new an unfamiliar music and haven't listened to much of my iTunes collection, so its difficult to actually compare to any previous listening sessions.
I hope this is just paranoia on my part, but can someone advise on the likelihood of overloading the speakers or amp in this set up:
Marantz MCR603 (output 2x60w)
Dali Zensor 3 (Recommended amp power 25w-125w)
The volume was at 34, normally I only go as high as 23
The speakers seem to be able to much higher output than my Marantz is capable of, but I don't know how this translates in real life terms?
