My new rockboxed player (Sansa e280)
Vortex:
A recent svn-commit says
--- Quote ---This should fix the tinniness on e200. Best recipe not worked out yet but I'll perfect later. Independently verified and hopefully will withstand wider testing.
--- End quote ---
Unfortunately I have no idea what this means and my dictionary doesn't know the word "tinniness". Could someone explain what was fixed here? ;D
bascule:
--- Quote from: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tinniness ---Lacking in timbre or resonance; sounding thin or twangy: a tinny piano.
Having a thin metallic sound: a high tinny voice

hehe, I should have tried the current build before asking that stupid question. The difference is obvious.
It sounds awesome! Unfortunately with the official build I still get the shifting stereo image (hope this will get fixed soon).
I have noticed a small problem though. I don't know if it is caused by the latest current build, but I suddenly hear some faint "electric noise" while rockbox performs some "heavy" tasks (loading EQ-Presets, browsing the Database, etc.). I don't think these noises where audible before but if this is a tradeoff with the improved sound quality I'm more than willing to accept it. Especially since the noise is not audible while playing music.
To sum it all up: Excellent work; a big thanks again to you developers! I'm looking forward to having the stereo bug fixed. ;D
EDIT: The noise is especially noticeable while the player is buffering (?). In other words: immediately before playback starts. Looks like it disappears during playback though.
I just noticed that this patch also fixes the faint volume problem. That's great!

Since you have use my build before- update it. My builds are always patched against SVN. I just build one last night. It will fix your "shifting stereo image" problem.

I already tried your build today, but it seems you did not yet include the audio quality improvement patches of today's svn.
At least when I tried, I got the same "tinny" sound than before.
Apparently your build was updated May. 17, 06:16, however the "tinniness fix patch" was commited 17 May 10:14, so it looks like you missed it. But chances are that the rockbox svn uses a different timezone.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw your other post saying
--- Quote ---Hold off for an hour or so. I am building a new version now after seeing the fix for "tinniness" in SVN.
