After very quick listen I can ABX it out the difference (level matched).
Difference is very easy to hear in the first second, which is a bit of a
cheat given a minuite of music.

Rough impressions are...

1 has stronger treble, less midrange and is generally brighter.
2 possibly more flat response (don't know original so can't really say)
sounds less filtered.

On such a short sample it's hard to say which I prefer - maybe 1 is more
immediate, but I'd listen to a system sounding like 2 for longer. Both are
ok mp3s.

I did level matched ABXing in foobar2000, btw. Very nice little player for
this kind of thing.



Thanks Jim - very interesting response.

I won't comment further in case someone else gives it a go. (There's no big
deal and no 'catch', it's just a 'curiosity' thing.....!!)
