So perhaps I was a bit hasty in my judgement of this wireless receiver. The harshness that I was noticing on some music through my speakers is actually distortion. With female vocals it is particularly noticeable. It's also noticeable through my desktop PC speakers. The rest of the sound is very good however and if a track does not contain a lot of high frequencies it's not really apparent.
I'm wondering if the distortion I'm hearing could be an interference issue with the wireless radio signal. It's not as if my speakers cannot handle high frequencies - the same content played through my ipod hard-wired sounds fine and it also sounds fine on my desktop speakers. Or perhaps I'm hearing the real shortcomings of a £49 wireless receiver, and I would have no such problems with a Sonos or Arcam equivalent. If that's the case then I suppose it's a case of you get what you paid for.
Has anybody experienced similar kind of issues with a product such as this and is there any way to improve things?
