V-synth XT D-50 card - what is system "sound character"?

22 Dec 2010, 10:58

Just found in my XT's D-50 in menu MODE, System - option "sound character".

There are two options - "D-50" and "V-synth".

Could somebody explain the difference? I do not hear any.

There actually *is* a difference, but you can only hear in good headphones. Basically, the V-Synth character doesn't do anything, but the D-50 character emulates the original D-50 output stage (possibly how the digital-to-analog converter affected the sound) and makes it less sterile. I prefer it set to D-50.

Great Chief Artemiy talked well !!
Good headphones you need

Indeed the V-Synth character is more (let's say)...clean and round, but the D-50 character has more "character", and resembles the original D-50 more closely.
The D-50 character is by far my favorite too !!!

It is difficult to find better headphones than mine. I have got Beyerdinamic DT 770. I thing you, guys, meant I needed better ears for Christmas. But I am afraid it is too late, today is 24 of December.

Thank you anyway and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and Merry Russian Christmas.
