Audio quality on original firmware vs Rockbox - Page 3

As i said, there's an EQ built into Rockbox that's a lot more sophisticated than a mere Bass and Treble option... adjusting the center frequency of the bass-shelf to 50Hz, turning it up to eleven, and lowering the general volume several dB's gives you a nice bass...

With a standardized Bass-slider you won't come close to the M3B sound, since such features normally center somewhere around 70-100Hz.

A good way to raise levels without distortion is turn them down instead >.>

Like if you wanted to raise 60Hz or something 5dB, then you'd lower everything else to -5dB and keep 60Hz at 0. You get your added bass and no clipping

No need for that on Rockbox... since you can attenuate the overall volume, it's integrated into the EQ.
