As an update to the post - I asked this in a classical music news group
and got several answers. Apparently it's normal for SACD output levels
to be lower possibly because of the increased dynamic range of SACDs.


That would be a nonsensical argument, as the noise floor of the player
will be the same in each case, so if in fact SACDs did have greater
dynamic range (not actually true), then you'd want a *higher*
full-scale output level.
