Not in SB2/3 but SB1 had some tone controls due to the audio chip used , ie was in the hardware . And boom has tone controlls due to builöt in DSP chip used for speaker eq and xover . Balance would be the easiest to write as this only requires a plugin to send different volume to left and rigth and its already partly there in the code . Tone controlls require a DSP plugin on the server as the hardware on ther players wont be able to run the math properly thus not so feasible unless someone resurrects inguz or make a more user friendly brutefir plugin or similar , but it wont fit inside Touch or Radio's own firmware or hardware ( i think ) . Why is none one feeling the pressing needs for it ? My 0.02$ Tone controls would been nice on the Radio as this one would be deployed in various sub optimal scenarios , but they missed that in the design phase ,they would probably be hardware possibly analog if ever done, now its to late :/ Touch is a source component , you dont see tone controlls on your CD or DVD players either because it's better done in a preamp ht reciever or whatnot. But with the rise of more active speakers it's a feature missed in some of those speakers . But in my collection of actives some of them has both balance and tone controlls . Some has no balance but individual rigth and left volume , one pair has an adjustable treble level to accommodate for placement issues . Maybe its a habit a leftover from my audiophile days but i rarley feel the need to adjust the spectral content , possibly due that soem of equipment sound rather good combined with some respect for the artist and producers choices and i tend to avoid completely useless speaker placements . OT . how do they do this on a phone ? are they cheating a lot to make it happen ? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
