A pure Poweramp definitely bears the risk that you won't be able to align your sub using the mere ±6dB of trim on the Yamaha. To mitigate that, you could add a passive attenuator like a Behringer Monitor1 in between the AVR and the Poweramp. Alternatively, you could use an Amp with built-in...

Yes. The Yamaha handles the crossover and naturally volume control for all analog outputs. The subwoofer trim is for aligning your subs to the mains. For volume control, you use the volume knob/remote/HDMI CEC.

The L30II has slightly more noise in High gain, so I'd expect a slight degradation in the multitone test result. Though nothing even close to audible.

Unlikely.

I'm not sure if they have tbh.

Btw, if you have an iPhone or can borrow one, then you can measure your SoundStick's response with the HouseCurve App and use that to make corrections. No measurement mic required.

Here's Topping's Product page for the D50III: https://www.toppingaudio.com/product-item/d50-iii Yes, they have three different product pages. I don't know why.

You just double-click the Editor:

I don't use Peace and don't generally recommend it. I use the default Equalizer APO Editor, where for the most basic sound adjustment, you can simply add a -10dB preamp (to avoid clipping), then a 10-band graphic EQ. If there's too much bass, simply reduce the sliders on the left.

What do you want Amir to strap subwoofers to his ears to listen just like he does with headphones? Obviously different types of equipment require different methods.

Definitely possible using Home Assistant: https://www.home-assistant.io/

As part of his reviews, Amir does listening tests of loudspeakers in Mono. I don't think he does the same for headphones.

A picture would be useful

Wdym by nothing happened? EQApo doesn't change the sound just by installing it. You have to open the Editor and make changes yourself.

Here's the download link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/ Here's the installation and configuration guide: https://sourceforge.net/p/equalizerapo/wiki/Documentation/ One thing that the guide doesn't mention is that you can configure EQApo with a simple Editor GUI (It's called...

Correct. For now, Topping Tune is only available for Windows. Seems logical, until you realize that you cannot connect two USB slave devices to each other via USB. The Cubilux adapter simply cannot communicate with the D50 III. It won't work. A USB connection is always between a USB Host...

I would buy an Apple headphone adapter, do PC->Apple adapter->SoundStick, then install Equalizer APO and use it to tune the sound. A preamp with EQ costs upwards of $500, which is absolutely not worth it when EQApo achieves the same for free.

The DL200 can drive the DT880 600Ω to ~110dB SPL Peak. That's about 8x my usual listening volume.

The 490 Pro has higher sensitivity, less harmonic distortion, better bass extension, and a better cable.

Put Amir's distortion measurements into context using: 1. Distortion audibility thresholds: 2. Music spectra: 3. Actual listening volumes: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/how-loud-do-you-like-your-music.40006/ ..and all of a sudden the distortion alarmism becomes...
