Hi,
I would like to ask to the COWON's experts if the sound quality of the i9 does improve with time (burn-in). I like the sound, pretty detailed on highs, but pretty hard to get rid of distortion (bass) in some songs (doing all the tweaks and EQ). Anyways, the main question is if this little "monster" needs some burn-in. I got a much better sound from my Sony A828, especially on bass department, stereo division and soundstage, with a lot of body and presence.
Thanks a tone.
EDIT: Ok, got a better soundstage with reverb 2. Not same quality as the A828 (Sony's built in reverb is better), but pretty decent. Also found that MP Enhance HAS TO be off in order to get rid of distortion, while keeping a strong bass.
