Dan Clarke Audio Aeon RT Closed https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/dan-clark-audio-aeon-rt-review-closed-headphone.19393/

You're going to have to elaborate on what you mean by "resolving" in this particular case. Can a headphone accurately reproduce a fraction of a dB change in amplitude of a frequency? I think that is what you are asking?

Nope - far , far more likely its ear/ brain related. Rule out those first then investigate physical changes.

If you have no ground loop noise going on then its hard to see what changing DAC/ going balanced would bring other than higher levels into the Pre. Stick with what works if you have no issues.

Always bloody transients and/or veils. Also, I am guessing most people living in apartments know exactly where their power comes from. The walls, same as in houses.

For the first time I have had to consider selling some! Meze 99 (Drop version) Beyer DT1990 Pro Fostex T60 MIght have to go to good homes.

Added a pair of Dan Clark Aeon RT open. I'm liking, but the big ears are making themselves felt again.

What software music player are you using? You need to set that to exclusive mode (which means it bypasses the W10 audio settings). Its the W10 settings that means anything not in exclusive mode will be resampled to 48 (or whatever is set as the default). In exclusive mode, it should play at...

And the squeal of piggies.

No. I dont hear it different. Like the beer doesn't taste different, but sometimes I don't want to consume it.

Yup. If I'm overly stressed or hyper, I can't commit to listening, can't get in the zone. Not so much it sounding different, more me not receiving it well.

So, moving things on. Had the X16 not had the imbalance you measured, what would you conclude from the tests you have run so far?

Irrelevant- and I have an inkling my ears are broken anyway- I have started adding a balance on headphones of over 0.5dB to the right to stop everything being too biased to the left. And thats not a DAC, HP or amp issue as its on multiple units of each. Focus on the thing you are seeking to...

Now, on to the test that matters. Can you tell whether its the e30 or x16 playing in a proper test. Does your ability to pick it change if either dac is low temp /just booted. You can't start seeing quirks in measurements then saying cumulatively they might add up to the lack of sparkle you...
