I'm deciding between a Fuze or Sony e345 player to replace my old Zune30.  If this LOD helps SQ with the Fuze, it might be worth getting that.  On my sons's Fuze, when I bump up the bass for my RE0, the EQ'd bass is a bit loose and not-well defined.  Maybe the LOD will improve the bass quality??  BTW, I would use a Cardas interconnect to go from the LOD out to my amp input, which is a better-than-stock cable.

 

No, the bass completely goes away on some lods.  LODS bypass the internal amp in your mp3 player, bass is immensely reduced, and one of the ones i just sold removes 99% of the bass, but it made the mids and highs clear as a bell.  So i paired it with a cmoy bass booster 2.02 and enjoyed ;)  

 

but i also have a fuze lod that keeps some of the bass, so it really depends.

You should get an ipod. Then with an OCC silver LOD you'll get punchy, rock-solid bass you don't get from the HP jack.

 

Say, even portable can make a small difference. It depends on how transparent your amp and 'phones are of course, but the small difference is even bigger than rolling opamps at times. Good grief.

 

Who else has worked with OCC silver? I picked some up not knowing what to expect, and I find it is a bit thick-sounding and textured with beautiful treble sparkle, punchy bass and real nice extension. Made a four-wire mini-to-mini and a LOD so far.

I made a couple of Mundorf ICs and they sound nice and smooth.
