Last night, I finally had the opportunity to download HP Play on my PC and sync some music to my TouchPad. Then, for a bit last night and this morning for a period while doing laundry, I listened to some of my favorite tunes of decades past, as well as some newer stuff.
I listened in a several ways... with earbuds, with closed-ear headphones and just via the built-in Beats speakers
First impression...
The sound is good, but something seems to be "missing". Though I kept pushing the volume all the way up to max or one notch just below, it wasn't volume that seemed to be missing.
After pondering it for awhile, I think the sound from my TouchPad is missing some degree of presence or power.
Thinking back to my audiophile wannabe days, it seems something akin to listening to high-end speakers playing music coming out of an underpowered amplifier. The music is in the room with you (not "coming at you", because of the good speakers), but it doesn't have enough power behind it to keep you from reaching for the volume control in a futile attempt to make up for it.
I wonder... Is this something that can be boosted/fixed by a software update, or is it something we'll have to live with on the TP?
