Hi, i don't own an Empeg player yet; my name is on the list for the MkII version, can't wait...

Besides my staple diet of music I have bouts where I want to play classical music, but with a CD player I find that soft passages become inaudible if the loud ones are OK, or if the soft ones are OK, the loud ones are too loud.

Too much dynamic range in a noisy environment is less of a blessing. How about a dynamic range compressor that would boost the softest passages while leaving the loud ones untouched (say by up to 24 dB, this would reduce total available dynamic range to some 60 dB, still far more than what you can appreciate in even the quietest of cars).

It would have to be user selectable, of course. Ideal would be if you could 'flag' the track in Emplode so the DSP would automatically engage/disengage compression.

Daft idea or what??
