CDP voltage output...what does it mean to volume?


Hi, I have a Cary 306sacd which outputs 6vrms. Most other cdps I have seen outputs 1-3 vrms, usually 2 vrms. So what does this 3 time difference mean in terms of real world volume? If I was to get another cdp that outputs 2 vrms I assume the volume in my system would be lower but by how much? Would it be considerable?

Yes, 6dB is half as loud when you are talking about voltages. If you talk about power, it is 3dB.
