sound on Sansa e200

Hold off for an hour or so. I am building a new version now after seeing the fix for "tinniness" in SVN.

Yeah, I was talking about 4+ dB, the very highest, but I didn't know distortion was to be the norm above 0 dB.

This is only for digital audio and not analog. Please read the clipping part here:

I won't be able to try the fix until later... does it really help? More bass?

I just got the newest svn, and sound quality is incredibly better. Very full sound -- I think the max volume is much louder too. The distortion is a lot less, though there is still some at the highest levels. On earbuds, I can't max out the volume anymore, because it blows out my ear -- that means it should work well for my car hookup, which is usually too soft to hear.
Only issue at first glance is slight popping/clicks (usually when changing volume -- faster equals more clicks)
Congrats on the improvement. Great job guys and keep up the good work!

Oh yeah... just updated... this is a MAJOR improvement. I'm hearing everything Daniel2023 did. Much fuller sound for sure; I'd had the bass kicked up to 6 dB and I had to back that way down. As to volume, I typically would listen at about -4 dB with my Shure e2C IEMs. That's much too loud now and I find -13 dB to -10 dB to be my comfort level for most listening.
And yes, I am also hearing clicking at anything above 0 dB. I will have to flatten all EQ settings for a definitive test at that level to see if I'm hearing distortion.
Thanks so much to the developers... Rockbox on the Sansa is coming together much more rapidly than expected.

cpchan: What exactly was your point, your quote is unclear as to who you're saying is wrong, and specifically, why you think that document explains that one of us is wrong.
