What are your EQ settings on your Creative Vision:M, and what kind of sound are you trying to acchieve with it?

There's a noticeable increase in 'digital fuzz' when even minor EQ is used, more so than EQ's on some other DAPs. I have read the unEQ'd ZV:M sound being described as 'boring'. Well, I like 'boring' I guess. |

The Touch had several EQ bugs in its various firmware releases (EQ settings not being saved, affecting frequency ranges other than those indicated, etc.). Use only the very first (original) or the very latest firmware release for the Touch as the EQ works properly in these, but per many reports it seems to be broken in the others. The EQ on the ZVM seems to work quite well however. |
