he he, btw just tested my music quality via enabling stereo widening and than later bass effect result Although stereo widening tremendously enhanced the sound quality, the increase in bass was very artificial,,basically it diminished the qualitative output just as you said..btw i checked cpu levels with stereo widening enabled and CPU hovered around 33-34% @ 250 mhz which seems to be k i guess.. isnt it? i guess high cpu usage might happen once in a while. p.s. earpiece badly needs some boost, i can compromise a lill on speed but the terrible output of earpiece volume even at top notch annoys the hell outta me.. it seems its time for a gui which decides quality vs speed or medium of both.
