James ===== Original Message from rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se at 09/12/02 13:46 By the way, I hear some ultrasound between tracks, is it normal? Is it the "Background noise during playback" that is referred to in the feature chart (happening during playback on archos firmware)?

Some people say Rockbox has much better quality than Archos, some say the opposite. > Am I beeing audiophile or paranoid? :-) That's easy to test, with the help of a friend's archos (same model) and double-blind testing: - Boot one with Archos and one with Rockbox - Plug both units into your stereo system - Set both units' sound settings to "flat" - Set yourself with your back towards the stereo, or cover your eyes - Have your friend play 10-30 seconds music segments from the units. He should not predictably switch units between segments and also not tell you when he switches. If you can consistently tell which segments are played with Rockbox, then yes there is a difference and we'd like to know about it. So far I haven't heard of anybody doing a serious test like this. I would be very interested in the result. -- BjrnReceived on 2002-12-09 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
