A couple of songs like Colbie Caillat's "I never Told You"
& Lady Antellbellum's "Need You Now" sound pretty damn good on my computer. (320 kbps mp3 LAME).
Instrument separation and overall soundtage is decently wide with my X5s, unamped.
When I put these songs on the my Sony NWZ A729, they sound very narrow and tinny. The soundstage is squished, frankly it is surprising how much the sound has changed. Other songs managed to sound okay on the DAP ( also unamped), just a few of them drop off the cliff.
EQ'ing does not help. I refuse to get a separate amp, because I do not like fiddling with extra cables and equipment right now.
Any ideas as to what is going on?
