Hello,
After the cable on my DT250 snapped, I used it as an excuse to buy this model that seems perfect with "a bit" of EQ. But not all sources seem to agree on the measurement side, and I plan on using maximum 3 bands (ideally 2) to save a bit of battery, since this is a Rockbox setup.
Here's what the AutoEQ repository shows:
Crinnacle (GRAS 43AG-7):
headphone.com:
InnerFidelity:
Oratory1990:
@solderdude:
Innerfidelity's PDF:
So, who to believe? All show a massive LF bump that'll go away with a low Q filter, but Crinnacle and Oratory have a different result under 60 Hz, only Oratory gets this 2.5~3 kHz peak, while @solderdude shows a marked lack of HF (and talk about it in his subjective evaluation). Confusingly, Innerfidelity's own PDF also seem to use a strange target curve, as the raw difference of level between 1 kHz and that peak is ~12 dB, which seem to be enough to me (and to both Harman and the author of AutoEQ).
Any opinion on this?
