Intel HD Audio, bad sound quality
Hi there,
I'm used to some Creative sound cards for PC and the Cirrus chip in my old MacBook. The Intel HD Audio chip in my rMBP sounds bad. That is my conclusion after three weeks. The Cirrus from my old MacBook sounded far more pleasant and I even like the iPhone sound better than that what came out of the audio output from my Retina 😟
I'm using Beyerdynamic headphones and I would describe the sound somehow 'dull', no clean highs and lows, no punch. The Beyerdynamics are capable of a very clear sound and very punchy bass but the limit here seems to be the Intel audio chip.
I know that audio impressions are very subjective but am I the only one complaining about sound quality on the Intel HD Audio?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
