Hello,
I have recently purchased a Hifiman Ananda (not BT) and using it with my Macbook Pro. I do not have problem with loudness, but the bass sound is quite anemic. I am using Amazon HD music and Macbook supports 24bit/48khz, which is probably sufficient.
To be honest, I do not like the overall sound compared to my $18.00 apple earbuds - seems like the earbuds present the music better to me. However, it must be said that using the new headphones for the last 2 weeks has definitely trained my ears to understand some of the benefits of the new headphone - specially the way the cymbals and bells sound.
I can still hear 20Hz - 14 khz, and I have tried using several equalizers (Oratory, Amir, ...) but almost always I go back to flat. I am using AULab NBandEQ.
I am wondering if an external DAC + AMP would make any significant difference
On a separate note, the headphones are very comfortable on my head and I do not feel them at all. I do get a kick out of feeling that the center of my head is the microphone - sometimes enjoyable, sometimes weird coming from a speaker system
