Being away from home, I'm totally relying on a Fiio player or my Kindle Fire playing my music.
Jet Audio is installed on my Fire and it includes sound processors that really do light up headphones that are a bit lacklustre sometimes.
I went to the local guitar center today and spent two hours listening and chatting. It seems that processing audio is quite popular in the USA .... and not just eq. So I played around with Jet Audio which isn't that well known as a player.
In includes its own set of sound processing modules. Xwide, xbass and venue acoustics.
On top of that, you can use a thing called a crystalizer which sharpens the top and bottom.
The crystalizer is brilliant for the crappy built in speaker and really improves the perceived sound a lot.
The Jet Audio sound module is nice with headphones. It widens the image, boosts bass if you want by different amounts or emulate a stage, stadium or room acoustic.
Plus an eq section.
The nerd in me says this is all bad, but the sound can be adjusted to sound damned exciting on a Portapro. Going back to straight playback seems so relatively boring.
The guys in the Guitar Center see this as 'normal' where I 'feel' that it's a kind of 'cheap fix'. Then again, with recording stuff, it was eq'd every time. But because it was done by pros, it was easier to accept than choosing your own settings as I tried today on Jet Audio Player.
There's no doubt though that my Portopro was really 'singing' and were actually quite bright in the treble as well. I do have a problem accepting eq. because I was brought up with amplifiers with no tone controls. Just source select and volume. I've been solidly trained into minimalism as far as set up goes and find it difficult to stray ......
