in the beginning, there was the Sharprom...it's music player was quite good, the sound was crisp and loud...but there was little bass response. and since it doesn't have an equalizer the problem could not be fixed. Then there was the PdaXrom which gave us Xmms... well, im here to discuss about the crappy sounds emanating from my (quality)headphones driven by Xmms. as i said the sound is crappy, apparently unbalanced and there is no way of fixing that since xmms equalizer doesnt work on our Z's. fine, i said to myself...just install some other player that has a working equalizer. So i hit the forums...And end up being seriously dissapointed....
apparently there is no music player with an acceptable working equ AFAIK. Which is kind of strange 'cos it seems that our Z's sound chips(wolfson WM8750) have basic equ capabilities which can be seen on this link: http://staging.wolfsonmicro.com/products/WM8750/ I also remember reading somewhere that our Z's have the same DAC as ipod's do, can anyone confirm/negate that? So what's the problem? is it so hard to make a software interface to existing hardware dsp capabilities? And why doesn't xmms equ work? |
