The meet-up earlier was fun; learned a lot about modding as usual. I'm really surprised how well the Rockbox'd Fuze generic EQ matched with both ASGs. It was my first time to actually play with Rockbox and I liked it a lot Compared to the treble boost EQ of the nano 6g, the mids on the nano sounded recessed and flat. It's good I had an alternate DAP with me.
I agree with your impressions, though I'd like to add some thoughts on the difference between mid presentation. The v1de sounded a lot smoother then the v1.2, which can still sound shouty sometimes despite using the EQ settings listed by eke2k6 above. I think that the inadvertent vent in the shell of the v1de caused the smooth mids. It's essentially a toss-up between the two, because the v1de has wider genre bandwidth while the v1.2 mids can sound absolutely amazing with some tracks while sounding a bit off on others. I think the v1de was better balanced as a whole too because most of my headphones are on the bright to neutral side, but I can appreciate darker soundsigs as well.
A note on the cable: coming from the stock cable, the silver dragon cable added some treble extension while making the mids a little brighter. However, Dogears noted that the bass seems to have become more rounded.
Look who met today:
Now some informal A/B impressions:
(insert impressions here)
Overall? Great job to Aurisonics
Special thanks applehead for the time and experience. Getting a Fuze soon?
