7. XBass II selection
Cycle through the three bass modes to select:
XBass II is an analogue circuit designed to 'add back' the lost bass response for more accurate
reproduction of the original music.
Note: Research into headphone frequency response showed that a purely at response may not be correct. Our long present XBass ts the prole
of the low-frequency correction required. However, it was also shown that a certain amount of upper midrange boost is needed to give many
headphones a more 'natural' sound.
This upper midrange region is usually called the 'presence' region; we have used this term to indicate the upper midrange correction. In the NEO
iDSD2, XBass II (or perhaps better HPEQ) can be selected to have either Bass + Presence correction,only Bass or only Presence correction.
Note: Sonically-hindering DSP is NOT used for XBass II nor XSpace matrix systems. They use the highest-quality discrete components and operate
purely in the analogue domain. Hence all the clarity and resolution of the original music is retained.
