What did the team do, in order to make Pandora audio output so good?

The one thing the reviews fail to mention is the uneven volume pot at low levels. This was a pretty serious drawback back when the Pandora didn't have a digital volume control. With digital volume control, I can set the digital volume lower and move the analog volume to a level where balance is even across both ears.

I find that to be a bit of an issue with my Shure SE420 earphones, which are rather sensitive. They also bring a little more background noise out from the amp. Most likely because they have a relatively low impedance. My Sennheiser HD25s are much more accommodating.

"The Pandora absolutely smoked the Dragonfly ..."        hell, yeah!!

( the Dragonfly DAC is a USB audio player 100% scoring hifi "product of the year" which costs almost as much as the Pandora but cannot run emulators )
