    I feel like if you're worried about 0.000001V worth of difference in the signal you shouldn't listen to music anywhere other than a sealed climate-controlled clean room. Humidity and microscopic dust particles on the surface of whatever electrical connectors you're using probably give you more...

Sonarworks provides a profile for this that is supposed to approximate flatness, but Audeze has not...

    Are DCA Noires that hard to drive ?

    I would also think you should look at the power calculator here with the Noire's stats (92dB/1mW, 13 ohms) https://www.headphonesty.com/headphone-power-calculator/ You'll see that there is a sharp ramp starting from 115 dB (200 mW) to 120 dB (631 mW), and then you need another 400mW for a...
