Sound quality of Rockbox is worse than original firmware!

Test with rmaa and see what you get?

Pfffffftt! RMAA?
Get out of here with your logic <shakes fist>...the only things that matter 'round here are adjectives and speculation, this is audiophile territory.

EDIT: Sorry, I just had to - its hard to read a post about sound quality that is completely and totally absent of any and all useful metrics that one could determine objective quality from.
monoid:
But have you not noticed that the rich textures of the original hi-res recordings are completely gone. :-DDD

I did tests, quite interestingly, the line out are quite similar results but normal output confirms observations - rockbox seem to do something that normal firmware does not and high freqs are rolled off.
Best to see is the picture below.
Here normal output, rockbox on top and ma9 normal firmware at bottom... notice freq response (first test) and rk going much faster low.
This is line out, which looks much better (here rk is at bottom not at the top)...

The first picture shows everything. Something is not right. Configuration is MA9 with balanced amplifier (golden).
The most interesting is that line out looks much better...
