So after a lot of playing around with the audio levels on my ICTP I couldn't believe the bass could distort so easily. So I checked my iPhone and iPod settings and I have an EQ setting on their for headphone (loudness on iPod and rock on iPhone to bump up the bass). Usually on a wired (not headphone out) connection on iOS devices the EQ is by passed but seemingly not so in the FP. Turning this off dramatically changed the audio and I got a much cleaner sound and more importantly no distortion on my bass as I fiddled with the levels.

Nice. That's possibly a really good bit of info.
Nice find - I'll have a look.

Fingers crossed! It only occurred to me as even on +1 on bass I was getting distortion - usually it bypasses the EQ and any volume settings on the device but hey this is Jaguar and why do things like everyone else! I would also assume that any volume limiter may also have an effect.

I will check my devices.
Thank you for the info.

Had mine off anyway but might help somebody.

Might also help if you flip it around - and if you don't feel you can get the setting you want in the FP, maybe you can alter the iOS settings and manipulate it a bit that way?

Good spot but bizarre as the Meridian 825W system I had in my Evoque definitely disabled the EQ settings when connected via cable and it's an identical (supposedly) system.

Yeah, that's why it's taken me 5 days to even think of checking! Certainly helped me on the drive to the office - can play some tracks now and do a comparison but instantly was able to up the bass without it sounding like a fart in a wetsuit.

Just checked ... My EQ is off .. but good spot nonetheless ....
