Full volume on the jukebox should be full volume. Exceeding the output limit of the DAC (16 bits -> +32767 to -32768 ) for putting a few more milliwatts into the headphones is not a good thing. If you want loud music just buy headphones with a good sensitivity (dB/milliwatt ratio) Received on 2003-01-20 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
