Translation of the highlights of the quote from the impression of the JVC dap by yamaza-k@impress.co.jp:
Quote:

For testing purposes, the CC converter was turned on, and the AHB was off. The AHB is superior in bass reproduction, however it sounds bloated with IEMs; the synergy is better with semi-canal phones. The first thing I noticed in its signature is the smoothness in its high's, almost like a silk doam tweeter. Female voice production is stellar. The mids and lows are also kept at a balanced attenuation, giving it a full bodied and warm texture. The detail in soundstage/positioning and frequency separation is what the JVC lacks in comparison to the Kenwood. Instead of presenting sound in the monitor like signature, it adds the fun factor while preserving the musical element. It is a matter of preference between these two devices, and of course the price. I personally would choose the Kenwood.

The next impression basically says the same thing except it mentions the mid-high region is better than the Kenwood.


Antony I personally think your wallet would be much happier with your GB7

Based on the impression, if I did not mistranslate it, it says the bass is bloated for inner-canal phones and is more suited for semi-canal phones. But since the 4S' are a little bass curved, it might just be the perfect synergy.

You're right, it only works with lossless/wav.

The JVC appears to be a very nice player on the surface. However, it doesn't appear to support lossless which would be the major flaw for me.

 

[antonyfirst]

There is a reason: it's 6gb, so lossless would be a problem. Get a Trekstor Vibez: 12gb, OGG and FLAC support.

can this stream to my predator?

There's a new mp3 player from Victor/JVC - Alneo XA-V80 (maximum 8gb).

check it out: http://www.victor.co.jp/press/2008/xa-v80.html

I was gonna start a thread on that player. It looks scary good. I love the blue one. 24 bit/96Khz, 4 environment modes and 4 modes for different headphones types. I like the tuning with the graphs.

 

[Mr_Junesequa]

Its supposed to have USB streaming for drm 10 wma...

[size=medium]Can it stream to my predator?[/size] If so can someone please rockbox it hehe

 

[Mr_Junesequa]

Anyone?

 

[LostPhil]

Well I don't know about the audio streaming, but if it did have it, you wouldn't if you put Rockbox on it. USB audio drivers aren't finished/working on Rockbox from what I can gather

However, I guess it might if that part was entirely hardware controlled but it's unlikely!

 

[Mr_Junesequa]

on various descriptions of the player it says it streams via usb but ony drm 10 wma...so it must be software...is there a wma 10 lossless ? I have no idea...i never use it. I know wma 9 had lossless so it stands to reason i presume.

would love to know if it can usb stream to a device such as the pico..

Im going to try and email JVC
