    Considering “upgrading” to Dan Clark headphones. Need advice.

    I could power my Aeon RTs direct from an iPad Pro

    Airpods Pro 2

    Yeah, you get to select balanced, vocal range, or brightness. But we don't have measurements. On AirPods Max, "vocal range" basically repairs the treble deficiencies. I think they were aiming to have the stock sound as inoffensive as possible. Also there's an option to import an audiogram...

    Meze Liric Review (Closed Back Headphone)

    Harman is backed by research into what *most** people like. If a company cuts corners in the tuning, what else are they cutting corners in? Don’t get me wrong, house sound can absolutely be preferred by some people, but the harman target is objectively better for the majority of the population.

    Choosing a closed back headphone (+poll)

    DCAs are very easy listening. I think that they generally have good dynamics, they just don’t have any part of the FR that is overblown

    Wired noise cancelling

    Well actually The H9i is bad https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master/results/oratory1990/harman_over-ear_2018/Bang%20&%20Olufsen%20Beoplay%20H9i But the H9 is worse...

    Wired noise cancelling

    Beoplay’s FR looks super wonky though…

    Dan Clark aeon noire?

    I have the Aeon RT Closed, it has fantastic bass extension, generally a very easy listen but still has a lot of detail, and of course, basically no distortion. I gather that all of DCA’a range is like this

    help for choice dac or headphone

    Ah yes, the Hifiman Sundara and He 400i, both of which are truely overblown bass cannons :facepalm:. If OP wants bass, there’s a thing called EQ, rather than telling them to go buy junk from a gas station.

    help for choice dac or headphone

    If you’re using Apple hardware, the DACs and amps are generally quite good. With more demanding headphones such as the Sundara and He400i you’ll be thankful to have that S8 for the extra power

    1-2k option to stream, decode and properly drive Meze Empyrean

    The Emperyean already sounds under resolving, so a tube amp that smears the detail out is a really bad idea* The Matrix I3 is a good choice, very futuristic device with that screen! *this is how I subjectively experience tube sound, ymmv

    The Matrix Resurrections what a horrible movie...

    Not sure what you being transphobic has to do with the quality of a movie. It seems as if your problem is not in fact the movie itself, rather than society has progressed forward since the 80’s

    Schiit IEMagni Review (Headphone Amplifier)

    I don’t understand it. Is there any reason to pick the Heresy over the Iemagni? I feel like it would’ve been more successfully marketed as a Magni 4 or 3++

    DAC vs EQ

    MiniDSP is a much better EQ. Zen Blue digital out > MiniDSP > MiniDSP analog out > A10 MiniDSP far more powerful than the Loki, you can do accurate room correction with it

    Master Thread: Are measurements Everything or Nothing?

    Should be pretty easy to prove, if it exists! If it could be measured, then manufacturers would have it all over their product pages
