This is my first venture into the hifi arena. After reading a lot of reviews, I decided to purchase an RME ADI-2 DAC to pair with a new set of headphones, which are yet to be determined. Yesterday, I went to a local shop and tried out a variety of headphones from Focal, Audeze, and Sennhieser. For some reason, I liked the Audeze LCD-XC compared to the Focal Clears. I'm not sure if I am just used to closed back headphones and the isolation they provide. I also like the punch of the Audeze LCD-XC over the Clear. Unfortunately, the reviews seem to clearly favor the Clears when compared to the Audeze. The RME DAC has an equalizer where you can adjust the sound. Do you think I could get the punch I want from the Clears by adjusting the equalizer? Given that the Clears have such great reviews, I'm scared that I am missing something and will regret my decision if I go with the LCD-XC over the Clear headphones.
Thanks a bunch for any advice you may have.
