Topic: Interaction of Loudness, B/T, and PEQ

It’s clear that the Bass/Treble and PEQ “stack” and I’m guessing loudness does too? So if I have Bass/Treble and PEQ set up such that I have a bass shelf of +6 (combined) and Loudness fully engaged (volume below the minimum level for Loudness) with another +7 boost, would I then have +13?

Thanks, does the ADI-2 DAC then do some pre-amp gain calculations automatically based on the stack of all these modifiers to prevent clipping?

“Auto Ref Level” function does prevent clipping in all cases.

But anyway - Loudness‘ boost becomes active way below full volume only, where clipping is impossible.
