OK, I bought the CD. It sounds significantly better... but still a bit grating, and I'm definitely not satisfied with the way hard rock sounds. I'm going to experiment with some inguz filter/equalizer settings; I'll report back if I have any success. But first I'm going to turn RC back on - since I recently changed speakers (and they're still not in their final configuration) I haven't had it on, but I think it's time to re-measure and set it up again. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41824 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
