Thanks for this - just been trying this out and changing the alsamixer setting 'Playback [dB gain:]' from -6.00 to 0.00 and the bass is back with a vengeance. Very nice - all sounding good. And I've still to try the KALI Reclocker in the system.
Interestingly (possibly) I've tried playing with the alsamixer setting 'PCM' which in my system was set to around '80' I think - increasing this to '87' or '88' has a similar effect to boosting the 'Playback [dB gain:]'. Not sure which is the correct/proper thing to do but may be worth experimenting with.
Either way enjoying what I'm listening to
