The loudness control functioned much as advertised – turn the music up or down and something resembling an equal-loudness curve kicks in. Personally, I find this quite useful as I listen at very low levels in the 68dB to 70dB range a lot of the time, and the correction to treble and bass levels makes for an improved balance when listening particularly quietly. I’m not sure how familiar many audiophiles will be with this feature, but it helps immensely with the urge to crank the volume knob to get the perception of more low level detail. Less of the room can be activated while retaining a sense of the full bandwidth of the program material. I wish more preamps and DACs would include this kind of feature to maintain tonal balance across listening levels.
