What do you have for a Sub? Meridian is basically in digital domain and can't go above 0dB. In the digital domain it's supposed to stay at -10dB for head room purposes. In analog there is no reason to keep the -10db. So I don't think the Oppo should be attenuated by 10db on the analog output. That's just my opinion and understanding.

If you are running all analog on the G68 subtracting in calibration does no harm. You'll be canceling that out with the master volume when you bring it up. It's the same circuit/signal you're adjusting. So when your ear is happy, how you get there in the end is the same.

I find it hard to believe you will blow anything boosting the Oppo output. But I take no respondsibility smile

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
