i use both Sonarworks SoundID Reference and Toneboosters MorphIt. I listen to a lot of classical organ music which often goes down to 16 Hz when 32' pedal pipes are present. My biggest gripe with Sonarworks is they neuter bass below 40 Hz from any bass boosting, intentionally adding a sharp...

yep. there are still a large number of recordings out there that haven't made it to streaming. I get a lot of classical music CD's from eBay and discogs. much to the dismay of my wife. :wink:

Huh, well Sonarworks replied and said straight up they won't give me a raw "no-limits" headphone curve for their "average" profiles. I have to do a custom calibration for my own headphones and then they'll gladly oblige with a raw curve. :slight_frown: I guess it's back to Toneboosters Morphit...

I already use AutoEQ and Voxengo's Prime plugins to do custom curves (within Tidal on the Mac). And then Equalizer APO when I'm using Windows. :) In fact I made a low shelf to counteract the Sonarworks limits issue and that's working OK. I just like to use Sonarworks curves when I'm feeling...

I'm kind of new to Sonarworks' SoundID Reference and just discovered the Limits curve option in the graph... I always wondered why the calibrations took a huge dip starting around 40 Hz. :rolling_eyes: I listen to a lot of organ and orchestral music and always found this heavy-handed bass shelf...

My S9 Pro has started to act up on the unbalanced jack. On both Mac & PC/Windows, when using system wide shared audio, it sounds underwater-like and swishing. Plus, when going to YouTube there always a separate music channel coming through in addition to the video's audio (yeah, it's weird)...

hi. my Q3 is at v.06, could I please have the latest firmware as well? Thanks!

Interested in this. I have an S9 Pro (ESS9038Q2M, correct?) and while it works well in most situations, when playing back native DSD files on an HP Spectre x360 (2019, USB 3 ports)) it stutters and skips. Though on a MacBook Pro 14' (M1) and my Samsung Note 20 Ultra, the same files play fine.

it says v5.30, but I guess I can try re-flashing and see what happens. EDIT: well, I re-flashed v5.30.bin (fresh download, using the Windows installer files) and it still didn't work. v5.20 does though (!) so I guess I'll stick with that for now. thanks.

FYI. I connected a Blu-Ray player to the UMC-200 digital coax inputs and they work fine. Could the issue be that I flashed the Nano iDSD (silver) to v5.3/MQA firmware? Does that disable the digital out by chance?

yep, trying to find another device to do just that. I got a Blu-Ray player recently but haven't hooked it up yet. For sure the optical inputs work on the Emotiva as I use them all the time. is it possible there is a "soft" switch on the Nano iDSD to disable digital out? I guess I should try...

(thanks for the help!) Emotiva UMC-200 Coaxial out from the Nano to the CD-1/Coaxial digital input on the Emotiva (I've also tried CD-2 as well, which is just a different coax jack). The UMC-200 is somewhat flexible for adjusting which input jacks are used, especially when using video sources...

I usually use my iFi Nano iDSD (silver) on an Emotiva UMC-200 with the analog RCA line outs and that works fine. When I try to use the coaxial digital out on the Nano however with the Emotiva, no audio is ever produced and no signal is shown. Unfortunately I don't have another coax digital...
