I am sure you won't want to hear us singing, but if you insist we will let you know time and place.

So how does the ASG-2 sound?  Any good or what?  

Turns out the owner of these ASG-2 with me has allowed me to have a one month extended loan, so we'll be party hardy together for sometime. Impressions can wait but my Carly Rae Jepson album cannot.

As Taylor Swift would say Gintaras, I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22.

Objectively speakin, no. Coherency issues across the board. Treble is shelved and then promptly fed into a wood chipper, and the wooly bass couldn't replicate the sound of a mouse farting in a padded room. Severe issues with timbre; midrange so poor they can't even get middle C on a keyboard right. Aurisonics should have heeded the acoustic failure of the erstwhile hybrid du jour the K3003; relegate this experiment to the junk heap I say.

I am sure you sound very analog when you sing

Just saw yours! Pretty, pretty!

I'm jealous of whoever scored klfl's pair. Those things looked slick. The matte finish gave me some ideas. Gonna try to replicate the finish myself with a similar no gloss finish

Purrin, is that you?

What you ASG-2 owners need (expect for Gintaras) is this little Colorfly C3.

The UI is very basic however the sound you'll get from ASG-2 is really nice, lifts the tonality towards cool just a touch and supports instrument separation (these are areas C3 is known for working well). I could use a number of sources such Hisounds Studio V, Rocco BA, Cowon J3 though I choose the little Colorfly for ASG-2. What also helps here is C3 suffers just a touch of low end roll - off, so you smooth over a fraction of that mid-bass hump present in ASG-2's signature, that's how I'm hearing it though we might also lose any sub-bass some find absent. Personally, I don't mind the mid-bass hump with bass ports set at 1 and 1/2 clicks, I feel it helps form the presentation ASG-2 is trying accomplish also contribute to wild foot stomp dancing at random, though I don't want much more. For example,Cowon J3 overcooks the presentations low end, I get a little too much bleed coming through covering mids, C3 sits well while keeping things separated. By about 38/40 on the volume you're pretty much rocking your own live concert, so don't worry about driving power issues.

Spend $100 and rake in the benefits of your new audiophile player. I believe Gintaras owns one and will happily tell us how it sounds.





Highly recommended, especially for those rocking smartphones. You can take it further!
