Because the output capacitors are what typically causes the bass falloff.


But I mean, I really have to poke some fun at this bass falloff business. You guys voted the D-25S and the D-555 "legendary" players and they can have just as bad a falloff as the iPod. I don't understand why it is such a big deal. Is it just that the majority don't trust their ears but just look at RMAA plots and go for the most obvious difference (because they don't know how to interpret the rest) and say "Ah... there's a big change in that graph, must be a piece of s***"?

You all realize, don't you, that the new iPod Nano isn't really black.........it's more of a "charcoal gray".

Just kidding.....thought I'd throw a bit of panic into the thread.

I adore the looks of this player!

I wonder how the competition will respond to this.

They can't do anything about it. Even an LCD-less mp3 player sold well for Apple. If they continue the same marketing strategy and style, same result.

This is coming from someone who generally doesnt like ipods or apple products for various reasons, as well as a micro owner.

It is NOT ugly. ugly = fat + ugly.

you can have the opinion that it is ugly. But in no way is it even remotely fat.

And here all this time I thought the 'f' stood for something else.

Regarding the Wolfson chip...

Could the two big yellow caps be output caps?
Also, the chip is WM8975G not WM8975. Could there be any difference?

Oh well. I'm getting the 4GB regardless. I'll report on SQ once I get the unit.

I think I have found my ideal portable set up. Ray Samuels Hornet plus the iPOD Nano with UE-10PRO's. OH YEAH!

Unfortunately, I don't own any of the three......at least....not yet.

Curse you headfi!!

Well I'll have 2/3 of your ideal portable setup.

Once I get the nano, I'll comment on how the nano sounds with the UE-10 Pros running straight out of the unit.

I must admit I am slightly envious.

Please let me know what you think. When did you get your Hornet?

Oh, no. I'll only have the UE-10 Pros and the Nano. No Hornet.

Soon though....soon.

I know I will be getting all three eventually. This place is too mean to my wallet.
