Upgrade from HifiMan Sundara + Qudelix 5K

[Jimbob54]

Yes, but the EQ does not mit sense to me, if we are aiming for the green curve :-S
I have looked at the second diagram, but it does not make any sense to me.

I am just curious and would like to know the curves and measurements works.

Do some independent research into shelf and peak/dip filters and and how you might combine the two to shape the eq curve. I'll give you a tip, it's a broad brush finessed with smaller, finer touches.

Ok

Please excuse me if I am wrong.
But please look at Oratory1900 related to Arya Stealh.

Should not the filter of the low lowest Hz (73) be increased instead of gain -1.4?

Please bare in mind that I am a newbie to this world

Basically, all the filters combine to make the Total EQ Curve - which is the "total end effect", it's like addition and subtraction. In your specific example the 105Hz Low Shelf would bring the response above the target curve at the 73Hz point, so therefore Oratory put in the negative dB filter at 73Hz to allow the response to come back to the target curve at that point, because remember I said if you didn't have that there & just had the 105Hz Low Shelf filter then the end result would be above the target curve in that 73Hz area. Adding overlapping filters is just like shaping & sculpting the final result, the filters will almost always overlap each other so they each contribute their own effect (addition/subtraction) to any given point on the frequency response. So the end result of the EQ (Total EQ Curve) is not as simple as just looking at one individual filter, they all contribute to the end effect.

Thank you for the great explaination.
You are very helpful

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.

I really cannot make the changes in my Qudelix 5K :-(
Every time I try to enter all the 10 filters, previous filters are restored. :-(

Seriously, I do not know how the change the filter-settings. :-(

Have you tried asking for assistance in the Qudelix forum?

Screenshots or screen recordings would certainly help.

Have you tried to use a computer with Chrome internet browser and the plugin for Qudelix to configure the Qudelix?

Maybe that is easier to handle and there is another advantage it's possible to upload .txt files of the following format:

[zonk]

And you will be asked for impedance and sensitivity.

For Arya Stealth
Impedance: 32 Ohm
Sensitivity: 94dB

Very useful.
I will try that.
Thanks

Maybe I am asking stupidly, but do Chrome Internet Browser (plugin) work on my MacBook Air M1?

Please look at attached pictures.
My MacBook Air + Qudelix 5K cannot connect.

My Macbook cannot find the Qudelix?

 

[zonk]

The only one technical requirement is the 5k firmware version 1.12.0 or higher.

I read that "restarting the computer and not turning the 5K unit on before connecting it to the Mac" could fix such a problem.

Otherwise contact the Qudelix support.

I have tried both.
And Qudelix support does not even exits. Extremely poor support, I must say :-(

The Qudelixmay not be connected to Bluetooth, when I am connecting it to my Macbook via USB?

It sure does:
