mind explain difference btwn Class A and Class AB amp?

how bout this one MAX9722 opamp? is it a built in amp too? same with gumstick?
*
I suck at amps but
Class A amp normally gives very clean natural source
Class AB is like Class A but energy saver (of course there comes slightly different sounding signature)

aargh... just read the wikipedia link down there for accurate explanation biggrin.gif
you'll get some of the idea

Maybe the Gumstick's true potential is when driving high impedance, highly inefficient full size headphones. Maybe at higher volumes does the Gumstick really shines.

Someone should do a comparison again.  brows.gif

Speaking of Gumstick's pushing power, I did remember it being louder on the old firmware.

Gumstick doesn't shine when played loud... it distorts quite a bit sad.gif

Meaning that if I am using FLAC format it is inadvisable to turn on BBE? as it doesn't help much on "restoring" the music reproduction?

not sure but with lossless files you use BBE as an amazing Equalizer
(just imagine car radio... the loudness button is always great to have it on no matter if you're playing CD or listening to Radio)

lols... this afternoon I tried installing the Cube C30 firmware into my Hippo Gumstick and it lags like crap... XD

somehow Nationite N2 works fine here

just wondering if anyone actually tried this before? (kinda lazy to trace back old posts) tongue.gif

I tried nationite in Gumstick. Works like a charm but bass sounds different.

Nationite works well in all parts when paired with gumstick except bass reproduction...

I think I've mentioned this before.
Bass below 50hz will start to distort like trash rclxub.gif

Do you own both the gumstick and the c30? What is this 'pushing power' you are referring to? Do you mean the volume is louder so that means the 'pushing power' is greater ?

"i dont really find any relevant and accurate comparison at all."
- Do you mean there isn't any significant difference between the two or are you trying to say you don't really know what it is you are saying in the 1st place? Which is it?
*
pushing power=loudness
gumstick can be used on higher impedance headphone compared to Cube cuz gumstick is louder than it

the other I dunno la

Are you trying to say that BBE is not applied when FLAC files are played because there is nothing to restore in the first place?

Edit: I've just tried having BBE turned on my BBE capable device  and the effects are present when playing FLAC files.
*
that's just an equalization. nothing improved other than changing how it sounds

try listening to crap mp3 with BBE on. now that's what I call major improvement laugh.gif

but I don't like how BBE sounds like tongue.gif

Cube C30 got the quality but iTouch got the potential to sound good. (examples like cypherlabs algorythim solo output)
