Sound output 5mW on A3000?

[Xemaniac]

Hi everyone.

I have a question about the sound output on the A3000. I have an NW-HD1 player and if im not wrong it has an output of 5mW per channel. Thanx 2 U guys i took away the limitation on the european modell.

BUT...my brother in law has an Iaudio 5x that has 20mW per channel output, and I'm wondering if the USA/Asia modells have an output of 20mW or is it like the NW-HD1 in europe 5mW? Or is 5mW standard on ALL of sonys HDD/Mp3 players (maybe it should b called, Atracplayer) =)

Xemaniac,

Welcome to "AtracLife"

I f you are happy with the sound output of Hd1 (After puttting the Vol crack ) then I think You will have no problem using A3000 also.

Thanx 4 a fast reply!

I dont have any prob with the sound BUT I personally think the base in Sonys machines R not deep enough. The Iaudio had a really deep base...maybe it was because you could boost the base.

I have the base on the NW-HD1's equalizer as high as it goes and have good earphones so that's not the problem (jus in case anyone of u were thinking of sugesting that)

Unfortunatly this BASE thing might b a reason that I would consider buying something else than Sony... =(

Can anyone check their NW-HD1 manual or A3000 manual to check this! The online version only talks about dB!

All Sony NW-**** gadgets are limited to 5mW + 5mW.

As for bass... I would still recommend different earphones.

I got a pair of these and never use them because bass is way too heavy on Sony guizmos with those earphones:

Good to know, but alittle sad cause I would like more POWER =)

I dont have in-ear phones, i have BIG sony ones normaly used at home, phones that cover the ears and almost half my face =).

So all sony NW have 5mW =( bad news for me! Are you sure this applies to the ones in USA and Asia too?
