There has been an interesting discussion going on over at head-fi.com
regarding one user's experience with his iPod giving overloaded/distorted sound whenever he used his EQ. He used the Audacity program to lower the dB by -2 dB and it overcame the problems caused by the iPod's EQ over-loading the input stages or down-stream stages in the amplifier circuitry.
I have just made a massive addition to the thread mentioned above regarding my discovery that dbPowerAMP will do this on-the-fly for people automatically during conversions using the Volume Quieten DSP.
It occured to me that this gain-staging fix might be a good thing to include in the help files as a further use for the Volume Quieten DSP! That used in conjunction with the EQ (or a pre-cut slider built into a future version of the EQ?) solves both this problem and the lack of custom EQ in the iPod lines beautifully.
Just a thought! Check the thread mentioned to see what discussion progresses from what seed we've planted concerning this.
