IPOD Video sound quality with Rockbox

(1/3) > >>

streetviper:
I own a Cowon iAudioX5 60GB. The sound is over the top but it`s quite a clumsy chunk compared to an Ipod 80GB which has a poor sound (I had one for two weeks). It doesn`t have an equalizer, poor presets, horrible bass distortion....
My Question: Can I increase the sond qulity of an Ipod by using Rockbox to get a soundquality of a Cowon ix5 (at least nearly)?

Thanx!

mamboman:
actually it helps tremendously if you have a good pair of phones and turn off the EQ. I found that the EQ distorts the music too much

Febs:
Use the "pre-cut" setting to avoid distortion when using the EQ.

soap:
If your headphones have >= 32ohm impedance, there is next to no measurable difference between an iPod and an iAudio.  The iPods have a well known bass reproduction issues, Rockboxed or not, with sub 32 ohm loads.
Advantage Rockbox - you can make a single-band EQ setting to cancel out most the attenuation.

mamboman:
hi bro, care to clarify what you mean by "you can make a single-band EQ setting to cancel out most the attenuation." thanks :)
