Yeah I am using the stock OTA 2.2. I get crackling at full volume, but I never listen to it at anything less than full so I guess it's not gonna work for me.
Are you using cans or buds? Almost all cans and some of the higher impedance buds would have issues with any mp3 player/phone (except the N900, since has built-in amp).
I only get the clipping issues if room is activated and the EQ settings are set too high. The snapdragon is not the best for behavior with such audio tweaks (perhaps a reason there is not adjustments- besides lazy OEM efforts?).
In regards to the update, the changes from going from no DSP Manger to the current one is the biggest update. Going form this version to the newer one would be a nominal change, based on the devs articulation of changes made.
added:
Be careful with adjusting and using the external speaker. Very easy to damage or pop the driver of the speaker- ditto for 16ohm or lower buds.
