Do you also need to signiificantly increase volume level when doing correction through USB Out? I have to turn up the volume more than twice to get a similar sound level to when listening to music.

However, when I do auto SYNC between the speakers and the subwoofer, this problem does not occur. So its happening only when doing RC.

Or maybe it's normal and doesn't only happen when sending a signal via USB to another DAC, and it's the same when the Wiim is connected further directly via RCA?
 
I haven't understood your configuration in exact, but I send digital output via USB to external DAC and the level is pretty the same with our without RC. Note I have locked output level at 100% in Ultra and I do all volume assignments on my amplifier.

Question -- have you compared the specs on the output level of the external DAC you're using to that put out by the Ultra's internal DAC? Not all devices put out the same voltage level at their line-out jacks.
 
My normal listening level is 60% volume limit and around 50% volume.

I need to use 80% volume limit and around 90% volume level to properly run RC, otherwise is too queit.

The last time I tried RC was when I wasn't using an external DAC - a few months ago. I think that back then the RC volume level was very close to the volume level when listening to music, and there was no need to increase the volume so significantly.

It's not a problem to increase volume, It just seems weird to me, and I was wondering if this is normal.
