And the Japanese version has no Volumecap
I use the Heir Audio 8.0 universals (so far my favorite IEM sound of all time and I've tested everything) with E12A bass boost + X5 POP EQ setting. The bass sounds warm, full range and never harsh at all. Angels in bass.
I didn't use the E12A to evaluate the Onkyo DAP, just to evaluate if I could reproduce the E12A + X5 combo sweet sweet sound.
I would prefer a standalone DAP with a sweet sounding built-in AMP, rather than lug around extra devices.
This is why I have high hopes for the Fiio X7 and a medium (E12A like) AMP module. (I just hope it doesn't cost too much)
I have already verified the X7 + E12A combo matches the X5 + E12A combo sound perfectly, so I have a plan B.
..somebody mentioned this, but I keep forgetting that I am using an over the ear headphone (HD700), while some are using an ear phone. No wonder
the bass needs to be boosted.
Not that I really care, but do you think the US version will have the volume cap?
...while some are using an ear phone.
Why would it, there is no US law requiring a volume cap, that is EU specific.
Thanks, I hope so too.
I take it you are waiting for the official release in the US?
Yes because I am pretty sure Amazon will carry it, not to mention warranty.
p.s. other than XM issue, I am pretty happy with my CR-N755. Look into it if you want a very good networked mini system.
Thanks mate, will certainly read about it. I always enjoy reading about new gear.
What do you mean by an ear phone? Do you mean on ear, or in-ear?
Ear Phone:
an electrical device worn on the ear to receive radio or telephone communications or to listen to a radio, MP3 player, etc., without other people hearing.
just threw it out there... seems we refer to headphone, so earphone seems to fit.
I still fail to see the distinction. You mentioned earphones in a context suggesting they differed from headphones, hence my question. I take it you were simply having some fun semantically.
