I believe you were only going out for a cup of coffee to kill some time. Why would you audition head phones on a dac that is not the same as the one you have at home. Of course it’s going to sound different, irregardless of what scientific data you would like to reference.
Sound and eyesight are unique to each individual. We assume that each person hears and sees the same thing. They do not.
Why would it, of course, sound different, irrespective of data? What can't be measured?
Who around here claims anyone hears the same way, and what's that got to do with...anything really?
