Hello,
I own a nokia 6630 (great phone), and tried to use it as a portable audio source; then, i bought a cheap no-brand adapter similar to the nokia AD-15 (but without the unconvenient box): the sound quality in my (not amped) headphones is horrible; i'm no audiophile but I'd say it is very weak in bass and treble, and the sound is much less clear than with any random single-AAA powered mp3 USB key. I tried with different earbuds and also tried connecting it to my T-AMP at home: when AMPed it seems better, but not by much. The problem should not be in software since I tried, oggplay, powerMp3 and the built-in decoder and obtained identical results.
Most people won't even notice the problem, but the lower quality is apparent to me even when listening in a noisy envoronment -- and I'm not accustomed to high-end components.
Because I've read some positive comments about the 6630 sound quality in this forum as well, I'm suspecting that my adapter is to blame: do you know if the Nokia AD-15 contains some components -- maybe a small cheapo amplifier?
Thanks a lot, bye
