JV-1080 vs JV-2080

Post by Leh173 »

Hey can anyone tell me if these two sound the same? I like my 1080, but wouldn't mind the bigger screen and extra MFX on the 2080.

The sound engine is the same. 2080 does have that bigger screen, an additional 128 patches preset bank, and 3x MFX instead of one. It also takes more SR-JV cards, as I remember.

Thanks for the info Art, yeah I have the specs, just wondering if the DAC audio output generally sounds the same as the 1080 or better or worse. I thought I heard a bit of difference between my 880 and 1080, but it wasn't an issue for me. Actually I wonder if it has a decent EP sound it! LOL.
