I don't think it could ever be accused of being "sweet,"...more like not a great harmonica. However it certainly provides very recognizable music.

There's debate as to wether or not you can get sweet sound from ANY melodica whatsoever, just like there's debate as to wether or not playing the accordion should be a federal offense. However, while my D'Luca provides functional sound at a decent enough quality for street music and playing the background to a tracked CD, nothing about it could be referred to as sweet tonal quality. You get what you pay for. If you want sweet tonal quality you'd better pay for a bit more instrument.

Play with the audio settings. There are quite a few. Default settings sound poor (hollow,low volume) but can be adjusted to more than adequate. Cant remember orig settings, but can give you my AUDIO setup config: SRS TruSurround HD &lt;Off&gt; SRS TruVolume &lt;On&gt; Equalizer Settings &lt;OFF&gt; *important* Base &lt;75&gt; Treble &lt;50&gt; Make sure the EQ setting is not set to Rock, Pop or Disco (they sound like garbage). Setting it to OFF allows access to Base & Treble menu/adjustments. Overall the sound is above average for what you are paying. More than ample volume once you get the settings tweaked.

I own this. The V90 is a much better delivery platform for USB and Digital. It is a true DAC. It was also added to the Sterophile List of recommended components.

I haven't tried the Sennheisers but I do know that the Bose SoundTrues work very well with my classical music, both orchestral and opera. There is a bias toward rich lows and mids in the Bose, and that works well with this type of music. However, after returning my first pair because I thought there was too much bass, I was told about the 23 EQ settings in my iTunes Library. For the last 5 years, mine has been set to "Flat". Well, I bought another pair, put the EQ setting on "treble booster" and found it absolutely perfect. Not only did it maintain the deep lows but the tenor voices and soprano voices were beautiful. I suggest you try a pair, experiment with your EQ if you want (though a lot of people just like the sound of the SoundTrues right out of the box) and if you don't like them, most retailers (including Bose.com) will allow you to return them within 30 days or so. I think even if you enhanced the bass on these ("bass booster" setting) you find they are not as thumpity-bumpity boomy bass like Beats. Over half the people I know own Beats because they prefer bass over everything, but that is not what music is all about. Bose is balanced across the full sound spectrum. There is also a "classical" EQ setting in iTunes which makes these Bose bring out a nice richness for that type of music.

We have sold both units you're asking about for years and they are both wonderful! Both have good pre-amps and are built well. And both work well with all of the current DAWs. Don't stress, either will serve you well!

I love the shimmer effect but it can be hard to use. There's often times a hash clipping on the reverb if you play a really harsh note all of a sudden. Really depends on what type of playing you're looking to use it for.

Ditto, This player brought my lexicon dc2,bridged carver amps, and klipsch chorusll's(4 of them) back to life.I had a pioneer dv05, thx, like everything else listed here,and simply cannot believe what I was missing in sound quality from the pioneer. This player could pick up a pin dropping in the middle of a pete townsend solo(doesnt get any louder than that).Yes the blueray is very good, yes the upconverting is very good, but the sound is only surpassed slightly by the denon (4500.00) blueray player.Buy it for 500.00, I paid a thousand for the dv05, Technology just keeps jumping by leaps and bounds.

The DAC is fine. What will limit sound quality in this case is not the DAC but rather the upsampling that pandora is guilty of - at least when i sampled music streaming services. I compared spotify, pandora, and mog, and hands down - Mog was the winner in file quality - dont get bogged down with numbers and listen first. I cancelled both pandora and spotify immediately.

Only if you want terrific sound. I have different settings on my Sony receiver, anddepending on your source of music(pandora, streaming, or Bluetooth, some only use lpcm frequencies. So some music sounds better with a 5.1 setting, while other formats sound richer with 2.1 which sends an LFE (low frequency signal to Sub. Its about preference. But with these speakers I never overwork my amp and get plenty of volume without distortion. The center channel speaker is also awesome. Cheapest price is amazon. Might have to wait a few days/5...youll be glad you did.

I believe the sound engine is the same as the motif, I think they sound good, as far as styles go if you are talking about the built in parts of songs they sound good, but I find them too difficult to use for my own work

D5 performance n sound quality is superb, I use it with a entry level 3 channel sound mixer and been told it sounds great. worth the money, of coarse it's all about the mixer too, i use a 3 band eq n 3 channel mixer for a usb output on my pc, couldn't ask for anything better

If you are into listening to those, I would suggest Philips Fidelio X1. I've got both and when I compared them, I would think Fidelio X1 is more suited for your genre of music.

Rec0mmend y0u try an0ther make - this was a fl0p, even with an Akai unit. (s0rry - keyb0ard's "0" is in0perative). Wasted h0urs trying all 0pti0ns. Seller did n0t want it back - tells y0u a l0t ab0ut their pr0duct. G00d luck.

All digital devices (iPods, iPhones, MP3 players, etc.) have to have a DAC -- otherwise you couldn't hear the music. But there are Chevrolets and Cadillacs and Ferraris among them. And the quality of the DAC obviously will determine the quality of the sound you hear. On the Sangean the internet feed will not sound as good as the actual FM signal. But on the other hand, on the Magnum Dynalab MD807 internet tuner (Google it!) which I prefer to listen to, the sound is as good or even better than the actual FM signal. Why? Because of the high-quality DAC and its tube output. As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for!

Around the same price range...(*and note that tone is purely subjective - best thing to do is play as many as possible and find one that sounds good to you) I like the Eastman E6D and also the Seagull Coastline Series.

I also love the same music and am particular about the sound . After only 10 days a new CD stuck in the drawer. I had to send the unit back. I decided to order a Denon d-m29s. A little more $ but well worth it. The sound is twice as good as the Yamaha. I also only play CDs on my unit. I would say don't buy the Yamaha if you want great sound but it will give you good sound. If you buy hope yours lasts more than 10 days.

I use the dw3000 double bass pedal on it . works ok. make sure you have a good amp for this you want good sound don't have a weak amp. the bass pedal to be honest I am still struggling to dial it in for my feel.I also have played with the sensitivity and threshold to dial in the action for not having ghost hits the set I love and probably the weakest link is the hit hat pedal but playing with the settings can get it almost feeling real on the open and close. overall for the money and to take up drumming I love it.
