I'm no audio technical expert, and others may chip (or chide) in here, but I suspect you're wrong. Other factors come into play. There's the hardware on which the mp3 is being played. There's the synthesis, which can be applied in different methods, all producing different quality. There must be other considerations. There must be different amplification methods. Like i said, I'm no expert but it cannot be just the headphones. The audio hardware must play a part somewhere. Heck, even the firmware/software on the device. Personal experience: My macbookpro dual-boots kubuntu and OSX. When in Kubuntu, I use Amarok to play the same audio files I play with iTunes in OSX. Even after much manipulation of Amarok, iTunes gives better audio quality to Amarok. It's the same hardware, same headphones but different software. > Anything else you thought you were > experiencing is just your perception that the apple device must be > better Steve Jobs told me it was :) > _______________________________________________ The Uganda Linux User Group: http://linux.or.ug Send messages to this mailing list by addressing e-mails to: [email protected] Mailing list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Mailing list settings: http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug To unsubscribe: http://kym.net/mailman/options/lug The Uganda LUG mailing list is generously hosted by INFOCOM: http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
