iRiver distorting output

<< < (2/2)

Okay, so its normal then. :(

Do iPods using Rockbox get this too?

Febs:
From the Rockbox Manual:


--- Quote ---6.1.  Volume

This setting adjusts the volume of your music. Like most professional audio gear and many consumer audio products, Rockbox uses a decibel scale where 0 dB is a reference that indicates the maximum volume that the player can produce without possible distortion (clipping). All values lower than this reference will be negative and yield a progressively softer volume. The volume can be adjusted from a minimum of -84 dB to a maximum of 0 dB.

--- Quote ---Pre-cut:
    If too much gain is added through the graphical EQ, your music may distort. The Precut setting allows you to adjust the overall gain of the EQ.

    If your music distorts when using the EQ, trying changing this setting to a negative value.
--- End quote ---

So, yes, it is normal for clipping to occur if you add significant bass boost when you're already at 0dB. And yes, this happens on the ipod as well.

Use the "precut" feature in the equalizer to reduce gain when you're applying equalization.

Skyly:
Ah. Thank you all for the explanations. :)
