I especially believe that the RE0 just does not pair with low quality recordings. Low/mid quality sources are not too bad.

For example when used with my Sansa Clip, RE0 clearly reveals the Clip's somewhat boomy bass, rather poor stereo separation and a rather low level of micro-detail. However, it also reveals the Clip's strengths - excellent neutrality and balance and excellent clarity. |

Personally, I think RE0 never gets messy with complex music if the source and recording quality are up to par. Out of the Clip, it can sure sound a bit slow and congested, but that's the Clip's fault, not RE0's. |

Boomy is not neutral. Balance would require all levels, not just the bass, to have the same boominess. Again, not neutral. What exactly is poor stereo separation caused by the player? The A-B channels are encoded into the music file. Are you saying the Clip does not accurately deliver A-to-A and B-to-B? How can something have a rather low level of micro-detail and also have excellent clarity? Setting aside what the difference is between detail and micro-detail, can something without detail really be described as having good clarity? I'm not asking this to flame -- perhaps there are perfectly good answers, but to my admittedly somewhat lay person's reading your description of the Clip has internal inconsistencies that are hard to reconcile. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm basing my guesses only on what I've read and not on personal experience. |
