NW-E013.. loudness (?)

[Tetsuro]

Hello there,

I wanna know how much loud are Sony's player of this family... actually I use a Packard Bell AudioDream that is rated at 13 mw x channel and I have fear that the new player (NW-E013) would me quieter. Actually I set the loudness of the MP3's at 97 db to achieve a respectable loudness at ->max<- volume and I'm worried that I must go over 100 with the new player (distortion included?).

Are there any limiter for the volume?

How much do you set sound pressure of your MP3's?

Thanks

I still have an AudioDream, it was my first player. I don't have an NW-E013, but I do have the NW-S706 and 808 and they're rated only 5mw x channel, but I just tried the Audiodream again, and can promise you they play as loud, if not louder than the Audiodream. The Audiodream only has the volume bar rather than a number - but I set it to 80% and then put the Sonys on 80%, volume 24 - and they play as loud but with better definition. I still don't understand why a weedy 5 mw x channel should produce such a powerful sound, but it does. I'm assuming the NW-E013 would also play loud but you'd need someone else to confirm that for you.

I'm very happy to know that the player has a better definition, that is very important to me.. and I'm relieved too that volume is comparable with the two models.

Which is for you the ideal 'sound pressure' for such a player? Which is the best 'loud but non distorted' combination? I actually have 97 db for the AudioDream, but 2 more decibels perhaps would be better.

Remember I haven't used the E013 - I'm only comparing the same AudioDream that you have with the 706 and 808, and because the mw x channel is the same on the 3 Sonys, I'm assuming you would get a louder volume. Seeing as it's a new model, I would have to think the volume's on a par with the 706 and 808. I can't listen to anything past about 20/30 but it also depends on what headphones you're using. I'm 100% sure you'll find it's a huge improvement over the AudioDream, (which is still not a bad player considering how old it is) - but you'll get a lot more clarity from the Sony

Some time ago I heard that NW-E01x series are different from NW-E00x series and that they do not have any volume limiter (for the european countries), hope that it's true.

Thanks for your replies.

Dear owner of E0XX series

could you confirm if we can install this app : MP3FMv2_ENG to the player ?

As it will allow us to drag and drop MP3 from computer to player directly without SS

Thanks
