Should I re-rip?
@audioengr Don’t feel bad Steve. The OP didn’t even acknowledge me once - let alone thank me - for the "free advice" I provided.My job is to shed light, and not to master. :)EDIT:And extremely meaningful advice too, for that matter.

Thank you @mmeysarosh. Your previous response herein is very well stated, and rather gentlemanly like too for that matter. In principal, I agree with you.

@kosst_amojanAll good.Besides, as a general rule of thumb, as far as this forum is concerned, I consider you a Phriend :)

I listened to Triton 2s a while ago, and came away with the distinct impression that they were primarily voiced with HT in mind.Of course, you, Kosst, mmeysarosh, and all others are entitled to their listening preferences and opinions. Triton nays... 
Does It have to be loud?
As far the definition of Decibel you found it. Sound intensity or volume indeed doubles for roughly each 3dB in SPL which is a mathematical certainty due to the formula.Nope!Shadorne. Apparently you have as much of a problem reading as you do list...

+1 @geoffkait And coming from me that’s a rave! :) 
Should I re-rip?
so how do I now do a batch conversion of my music from FLAC to WAV? Help! There is such a thing as "Trader's Little Helper" :) Google it.... 
Does It have to be loud?
You added the word "irrespective". I’m sure you do understand that this is the key here. 100 dba at 2 feet, or 100 dba at -for example- 20 feet DOES differ, and so does the distortion. Hello @han_nNot to belabor this, and frankly at this pointy I’...

@shadorne As I promised to obtain a response beyond that of my own, the following comes courtesy of Golden Ear forum moderator.....---------------------The "non-linearity" he's referring to, and the associated distortion, is extremely low, inaudib... 
Does It have to be loud?
@shadorne I’m hopeful to have a more technical and comprehensive response to your 03-05-2018 12:34pm post.However, at face value I see no issue. In fact, the non-linearity data that you are now reporting I previously disclosed.As I look at the gra...

Another point is that I was talking about SPL at the listening position. (in my case 4.0 meter) I now realize that some measure 107 dba at 2 feet.@han_nHello han. Just letting you know that I’m aware that you are referring to sound pressure at the...

All I know is the Doors, L.A. Woman sounds best cranked! Absolutely!  
Does It have to be loud?
@shadorne The article that you provided indicates: "Expressed as a formula, the intensity of a sound in decibels is 10 log10 (S1/S2), where S1 and S2 are the intensity of the two sounds; i.e., doubling the intensity of a sound means an increase of... 
How does a Transport effect sound?
RCA obviously. It cannot be terminated properly to any coax.Steve, your opinion (or fact) on this please....As you know, in my case I’m going Oppo>Yggy via **RCA** coax out from Oppo and in to Yggy. Shame on me perhaps, but other than optical t... 
Does It have to be loud?
By inspection open rooms will not support the pressures that a closed room will. For better or worse.@geoffkait Agreed. Of course at some point my room is "closed". My listening environment dimensions are 12ft wide, 35ft long, 8ft feet high ceilin...
