Ok, here's the situation.
I'm looking for a new cell phone (current over 3y/o and dying) and at the same time my Zune 8gig is having problem with the 1/8 connector.
Reason, because I'm using custom IEM (Freq and Fidelity Audio), I found the output coming out of the zune to "loud". So in order to solve that problem, I had purchased a line out resistor that plugged into the Zune, before the IEM.
Long story short, that extra "plug" has damaged the inside of the Zune headphone connection and now the connector is cracked as well... So I can't get great sound with the resistor plugged and I can't use it without it because the regular IEM plug is loose and the player keeps pausing (b/c think unplugged). Does it make any sense?
Ok, still reading? So should I go for a cell phone/MP3 player (except Iphone, not a fan) or should I get another dedicated source. If possible with EQ so I can lower the audio output if too high.
BTW, does anyone else find the audio to loud when using IEM? I can't stand anything higher than vol 1 with resistor.
Thanks!
p.s. Listening 80% podcast so something podcast friendly is a must.
