I have Rockbox in iPod Nano, but it doesn't sound as good...

<< < (6/6)

Rather than including two recordings where we have no idea what you've set the config file to, why don't you A) Do an actual blind test or B) provide an original (not recorded from the player) sample clip where the difference is "obvious", if we listen to it in both firmwares, as you put it, so someone else here with a Nano can also do a test, and their own RMAA.

All right then, if anyone has nanos here, try out with this clip.

One thing, when I recorded to my pc, the sound is more similar than I hear it on my (default ipod) headphones. Issit possible that iPod's headphones can't manage Rockbox's output, thus making it sound distorted?

Here's a clip I think makes a difference...

Thanks anyone for helping.

Llorean:
Are you listening to the exact same file in the Apple firmware and in Rockbox? The clip you've uploaded looks to be an MP3 transcoded from an MP4.

Are you listening to the original file in the Apple firmware, and the MP3 version in Rockbox?

Nik:
Yes exact same file, I cut it short in Audacity though, posting the full song is illegal, isn't it? the music is live by REM too, I'm certain its in mp3.

Should I post more clips which I find has more differences?

Anyway I done the test on Rightmark but what am I suppose to do now? I'll just post 2 graphs which I think make sense.

The quality for this file is 223 kbps VBR...

These graphs aren't labelled.  What exactly are you measuring here?  And what file are you using to do the measurements?  RMAA has a set of test files that you should use that will allow you to measure frequency response.

First one is dynamic range, 2nd one is noise level.

Try using the RMAA test files.
