Yes, I know about the 18dB click, the question is what it is. Do they turn an extra gain stage from 18dB to 24dB? Highly unlikely! Those SS circuits have a lot of gain and a lot of feedback to manage the 6dB is very much not a problem for them. I was listing very carefully a “click” over the outputs at 18dB and I did not hear any. Might it be something not related to signal? Let pretend that they over 18dB bias the output stage and as result then need to run fan faster… Not to mention that my Model two sometime do have relay switching inside during oration (model One did not do it).
It is possible that 18dB is 0dB gain digital then what boost signal over 18dB? Would it be feasible that Pacific uses 0dB to 18dB digital attenuation and 18dB to 24dB they keep unity gain at digital domain and engage an analog boost? That would be VERY cool but I do not think that they went for this. I do not know the answer…
Anyhow, all my D/A listening with Pacific I do at max out outputs (+24dB), that is BTW produces the identical amplitude with Lavry Gold – very convenient….
