I recently put rockbox on my 5g Ipod, and I have started trying out the hardware eq feature with my e2cs. I have problems with distortion on certain albums, especially those that are particularly bass-heavy, but it also happens in certain classical albums as well.
I read the thread a while back where everyone was raving about how great the HW-EQ made the ipod sound, even out of the headphone-out, and they suggested to set the pre-cut to -12dB or higher in order to compensate for the distortion. I have tried this, but the distortion is still present, and irritating. Would this problem be solved if I bought an amp and used a line out from the dock? What if I used an amp with the headphone out?
Lastly, I have been doing positive EQ'ing up until this point; ie. I have been increasing the low shelf filter and high shelf filter, anywhere from 0dB up to about 6-7dB, (any higher, and everything distorts like crazy).
Thanks!
