I was recently in an electronics store and I could compare the sound of various “overpriced” docking stations / speakers using the music on my iPhone (including FLAC), for instance Jawbone Big Jambox, Beats by Dr Dre Beatbox, Bose SoundDock 10, Samsung DA-E670 and Philips DS9800W/10 Fidelio. I must say that deepblue is not sounding a little better that any of them, it sounds A LOT better! It’s just a new experience, and I don’t really care what THD or S/N ratio this speaker has, as long as it provides such awesome results! I’m aware that the sound is manipulated as to provide more bass and treble at low volume, but does it matter, if it sounds like a full sized system? OK, for the really geeky ones, the amplifier is provided by audera and it’s a 4 x 30 W + 1 x 120W (at 10%THD) configuration. The high frequency channel has a usable frequency range of 20Hz-20KHz and the THD@ 1 W, 1kHz is 0.09%. The SNR at max output is < 100dB. Finally the DSP is an Analog Devices ADAU1701 (50MIPS) SIGMA 28/56-bit audio processor with 2 ADCS and 4 DACS (SNR of 104 dB, THD + N of −90 dB). P.S. If you worry about Bluetooth compression there’s always the line in connector…
