As did I. Used, ex-library, but once ripped it'll never see the light

To be honest i really have a problem finding a reasonable reason for a

Or explained as a consequence.
On the Touch I have to listen with higher volumes in order to achieve a
nice sound stage, because it is somehow overshadowed by upper-mids and
treble. With louder passages, this can lead to a slightly screaming
impression.
While on the PC, on low and high volumes s
I'll try to put it in another way.
If played on the Touch, a piano attack sounds like if the the upper-mids
and treble appear first. After that first sound impression, the mids and
bass (and with that the sound stage) will be audible.
Played on PC, everything is together on time leading to a les
I'd forgotten that I'd recommended that CD previously. I've got a lot of
music that I think is well-recorded, but every now and then one just
jumps out at me. This is one of those.

I still don't have an optical cable. But I A-B-testet:
- Touch -> coax -> M51
- foobar -> HDMI -> M51
