I've planned to buy this device, but what confused we was absence of ANY info about output sound specs neither on their site nor in manual.
So I wrote to their customer service the following:
Before I buy this device, Id like to know audio output specs. I didn´t find such information on your site. The most important is output power per channel, as I use high impedance headphones and I want to be sure this device will able to drive them. Also Id like to know SNR ratio. Thank you!
And this is their reply.
Dear Dennis,
We cannot give you such details.
We can just say to you that the device is prepared to drive high impedance earphones.
Kind Regards,
Archos Technical Support
What!??
All manufacturers provide at least output power!
I know in Europe there are limitations (15mw per channel), and Archos is French, what do you think?
Also, can somebody who has AV500 and decent sounndcard test it with RMAA? Or just say something about SQ in comapred to, say, iAudio X5 or something?
Thank you!
