TLDR; I am looking for a clean, accurate, and well-measured headphone I know there are measurement buffs around here- plenty of knowledgeable members about DACs and amps. Does your love for measurements bleed over into HPs? If so, I also comb through numerous forums searching out frequency...

... someone can suggest otherwise. I’m keeping my DAC budget sub $1500 USD. I’m about to pick up the RME ADI-2 DAC. Don’t care about MQA. Thanks to a few informative members here, I avoided it. It isn’t truly lossless and is only worthwhile to me on the go. I use the Onkyo Granbeat for my...
