QUOTE (cpchan @ Jul 24 2009, 06:38)  QUOTE (viktor @ Jul 23 2009, 22:55) can you confirm that the playback quality has really improved with this update? Yes, the noise is gone.I have been happily using ver. 1.18 with Vorbis files since it came out. Reencoding my collection to my portable Vorbis quality (-q 4) was a pain, but well worth it.  thanks! now there's no barrier to buy an i7

Although, I still wish that the iAudio 7 would support tag based Replaygain (right now I have to use wavegain) and gapless playback. Hopefully these will be addressed with a future firmware update. |

Hopefully these will be addressed with a future firmware update. hmm i don't use replaygain and gapless is unnecessary coz i rip my albums (mixes) into one single file, but good to know about these, thanks

Firmware 1.18
CODE - Improved playback sound quality of OGG files. This sounds like good news! EDIT: Ah, has already been mentioned here. Yeah, ogg vorbis files are now played back fine! This post has been edited by Squeller: Aug 5 2009, 12:10 |

my iaudio arrived today with 1.16 firmware. a jean michel jarre cover was the only lossless file at hand, i encoded it with aotuv 5.7, and listened. i didn't realize the regular noise was not part of the track... then i updated to 1.18, and wow, the noise is gone.
very cool indeed
