hooting_monkey Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I recently picked up an iRiver T30 at Worst Buy. I see it has SRS on it, and I'm wondering if I can actually tweak it a bit to sound a little more like my speakers and alot less like my headphones. BTW I use Sennheiser HD497s with this incase it matters. I guess I'm kinda wondering what your impressions are of this stuff. If anybody who is a little more enlightened on audio than I am wants to trek over to their site and read about what this stuff is supposed to do, that would be great. It has SRS, Focus, TruBass, and some Boost thingy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 turn it all off [] you'll spend hours upon hours of tweaking only to find that you need to adjust for every song, which is a tedious waste of time. Though it's always fun to see how you can change the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooting_monkey Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 It's kind of cool that they can have enough cpu power in small mp3 players like these to use SRS effects, and still have room to decode Ogg files. I remember when my old Rio had enough power to play mp3s and wmas. No wav and no Ogg support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 That is pretty cool. I've sure been curious about the Og files. If you've done some comparison with Mp3, or plan to, hope you will post on your take of the format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooting_monkey Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 Well, the Ogg Vorbis format uses an open souce codec that allows changes to be made as hardware and science are more understood. It seems to sound slightly better than an mp3 at the same bitrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
