Then what phones aren't BA-based, besides IE8?
My sources will be a Samsung P3 dap or iPhone 3GS....amp is a Fiio E5. Will possibly be purchasing an iPod with LOD later on.
I've heard mixed results on EQing on the se530, although the Samsung P3 has a good EQ set built-in, and it's a fantastic sounding player..

IME the SE530 relies on a good source, it does not so good with my iPod classic but sounds great with my Fuze. According to my freq tests bass goes down to about 15Hz, so I don't think its missing on that end of the curve. The ressed highs are a widely confirmed truth, but I wouldn't call them dealbreakers. For a BA-phone the SE530 responds really good to EQing, so you can pump up the highs if you like. |
