In the Qudelix App you can search for your Headphone model and it will automatically load the EQ parameters. There's no need to enter them manually (though it is possible).

Yes, I did it with my Sundara.
But efter downloaded a newer version af the Qudelix app, it is not possible anymore.

I will use USB Audio Player Pro.
It always works.

I would like to EQ myself.
I just need to be sure what to change.

This?

PS.
Qudelix 5K auto-EQ does not have the exact same settings as attached.

It is always better having the option to optimize, not be doing auto.
I am rookie, yes.

But I just need to know which settings to change.
That is all.

These are the parameters that you have to copy into the Qudelix App, if you want to apply oratory's EQ preset using the Qudelix 5K.

Or just put in the same settings into my USB Audio Player Pro (parametric EQ)?
That should give the same results, I think.

It does not work in Qudelig app.
When I am typing in the settings, it resetting when I am switching to next filter :-(

Almost certainly user error
That is why am asking for your support!
Yes, I might be doing something wrong.

But we can help each other?

Ps. you do not need to fresh up my memory.
I know what I have ben written :p
 
Do someone else have experience EQ in the Qudelix app?

Thank you :)
 
I have just tried my new Arya Stealth.
They do not need balanced cable - I am pretty sure.

Even not after making the EQ settings (oratory1990)

Have you read the manual and the Qudelix support site /forum?

Yes, I might be doing something wrong.
Are you certain that you've enabled the EQ before changing the values?

Yes, and I made the settings for my Sundara.
But after I updated the APP, the filters were reset when I was switching the next filter.

But I can use USB Audio Player Pro.
It has 10 bands. And it is always working.

Yes, it is not possible to make any changes, if the EQ is not enabled.
But I can use USB Audio Player Pro (10 bands).

There is not need of using the Qudelix app.
There are many apps offering the same possibilities.
 
Hi guys,

I have just been offered a Fiio K9.
Price: 335 EUR

Please let me know your opinion on this one?

Thanks.
Don't know what you decided concerning getting a desktop amp, but that's a good price for the K9, specially if it's the AKM version (audiophile folklore prefer AKM velvet to ESS, so it's more expensive). It's a transparent dac/amplifier with a lot of inputs, including usb C, which you hardly see nowadays, while also being very good looking IMO. Here's the pro version, which is marginally better:

It's main "deficiency" is power relative to its price and competitors, which is only a problem if you have uber hard to drive headphones and like to listen dangerously loud.

Thanks, but it is sold now.
 
Hifiman HE-1000 Stealth (v3). Your Q5K should be more than enough to drive them.
