Kclone, since you quantified this with sound pressure readings, I decided to check my listening levels with a Radio Shack sound pressure meter.
I played several recordings of big band jazz cuts and symphonic cuts with what for me is loud levels. I set the RS meter on C reading and fast and in the 90 db range. I did get some peaks over 90 db, but overall the meter stayed in the minus range.
I think I am playing at what I judge to be the normal level where I up close to the stage.
I think the Tidal are very revealing of what comes before them, but I think my system is losing nothing at louder levels.
