Date: Fri, 16 May 2003 14:09:18 -0400 I don't know about any else, but did anyone notice that the volume he used to test this was 88? 88????? I have an AJB6000 and if I have the volume over 70, it'll fry my ears!! Maybe that has something to do with rockbox handling distortion (there gotta be distortion at 88 big time) vs how archos handles distortion? Just a (LOOOOUUUD) thought ;-) -David -----Original Message----- From: André Rübel [mailto:andre.ruebel_at_web.de] Sent: Friday, May 16, 2003 1:38 AM To: rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se Subject: Re: Archos firmware sound vs Rockbox "Andreas Stemmer" <Andreas.Stemmer_at_web.de> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:000001c31af4$3817eba0$3f149b0a_at_Andi... > > Perhaps the archos firmware does some distortion protection if there are > too strong bass and loudness settings.

One has to use the right headphones anyway. I think that this is not a problem at all (and I did not want to say that in my previous post). The rockbox developers should not spend time in this issue. It works and sounds wonderful, the way it is. Many thanks to the rockbox team for all their great work that they are doing for all of us.
