First, the very fat bass is striking. This I had to adjust to the -4dB Fiio. But unfortunately suffered a result the lower mids. The heights on the other hand seem to be scarce. > Increased by + 8dB.
That can not be the purpose. I miss a balanced basic sound.
The achievable volume is high. The jumps on the soft touch control on the Creative unfortunately.
The Creative is certainly rated higher than the standard Schepper briquettes to about 50. But I would never ever issued for over 200. There is a lack of transparency and vitality, the sound is dull, tired. The stereo width is too narrow, and the sound does not dissolve so well of the pit.
Crystal clear, as Creative claims the sound was at least not more than the polished metal side faces ...
As another reviewer said, a lifestyle product, the sound is not the main thing here ...
So I must say that unfortunately this is not a super bargain, well, and to my player's is certainly not. What a pity!
Addendum: The return was not a problem! Got within a short time a very nice response letter from kg-computer. 5 stars from here for that!
