Ah, you'll have to research which programs you can use for applying parametric filters then, or someone else who knows what's available on a MAC can answer.
I'd be a bit wary of using Jaakkopasanen's settings for Oratory Measurements because I'm not certain that the parametric filters are exactly the same as those ones used by Oratory? So it could give you different results to just using the parametric filters that Oratory lists. Until you (we) know otherwise @HooStat I'd make sure you're copying the parametric filters from Oratory's pdf files at the link I gave you earlier.
Yeah, use software EQ if you can, no reason to limit yourself to 6 EQ Filters if you don't need to. Oratory has for some headphones done 6 band EQ's for the RME, likely not for your Neumann, but I haven't looked. In fact, you could ask him on reddit if he would do you a 6 band EQ for the Neumann - he'd probably say yes and post up a new pdf with all the EQ settings. Considering he of course has a copy of the measurements of the Neumann, he'll be able to do an EQ even if he doesn't have the headphone......although thinking about it he might not want to publish it if he can't listen/test his EQ....but he might issue it anyway or at the least he might just give you a personal copy of the EQ without publishing it publicly.
That is very kind of you, but you don't have to go out of your way. I think the RME is 5 band, plus a low and high shelf? I think that is one of the reasons Oratory has been doing them specifically for the RME.
Oppo pm-3 is very good. Sadly it's hard to get now. The original model of NDH20, hd630 actually does follow harman quite nicely a bit on the dark side but good 3khz response.
I had both Oppo PM3 and Nad HP50. Much better build quality than Nad, but for me Oppo had a peak in HF which I found annoying and I sold it to a friend. So last time I checked used PM3s can be as high as what i sold mine for NEW

Mine is even a little tad dark. Maybe it's due to that our pinnaes are different.I had both Oppo PM3 and Nad HP50.

This, plus maybe this is due to variances.
The graphic one can have many many points. But it will be very slow too.
Yeah, it's no trouble, I enjoy doing them, so I'll do one for you. Skimming very quickly all of Oratory's RME EQ's just now suggest RME is 5 Filters of any choice and then a Low Shelf Filter & a High Shelf Filter. Yeah, I'll give it a go after work one day if I finish early or at the weekend. I use REW to do it in terms of importing the exact measurement from Oratory, so it'll be accurate to the Harman Curve if 5 filters + Low & High Shelf is enough to get the job done, and I'll show you a pic of the EQ'd Curve so you can see what I've done.
No problem, it doesn't matter if you don't like the EQ, like people say the Harman Headphone Curve doesn't fit everybody due to HRTF differences amoungst the population....and I'm just taking someone's measurement and EQ'ing it to that. Once you've learned how to program your RME....that's a positive thing, means you can mould the headphone to your taste, and any future headphones you buy, it's all a bonus! I'll message you once I've done it.Well, thank you very much! Now the pressure is on me to try and learn how to program the RME!
