Fixing channel imbalance with EQ accurately?
Much thanks. I've spent so much time fixing this thing I'm burnt out and I'm gonna take a break. In the meantime, if anyone posts a better more accurate method I'll appreciate it.- maaz

Fixing channel imbalance with EQ accurately?
I'm familiar with the general process, that's roughly what I've been doing with Peace and Neutron. I thought maybe someone is aware of a more efficient method when dealing specifically with channel imbalance and a massive number of eq bands.- maaz

Fixing channel imbalance with EQ accurately?
Thanks for the suggestion. It says it does only "important" frequencies 1k to 5k which is not nearly good enough, the gain values are rounded to .5 and then there is a limit to bands too (why on earth is it all so limited?). Even at like 60hz I can tell a 0.3db difference when attentively...- maaz

Fixing channel imbalance with EQ accurately?
I did a lot of testing of my IEM with frequency test tones and a balance slider and got bunch of data. I have like 40 frequencies with a db number of how much exactly I should boost or reduce them for the sound to be even. I have an equalizer with separate L and R channels with peak, shelf...- maaz

Yeah how dare people complain about totally off sounding IEMs, for 30$ they should be grateful for the box alone that has the word 'planar' on it. They're not doing this for charity but selling an IEM with graphs in its specifications, not a driver. These are not some accidental QC mistakes...- maaz

Nope, I took it out and the other side is clearly different. I'm gonna order mesh from AE and I'm wondering whether to get 500 or lower. The left one with denser filter needed eq boosting to match right although the imbalance might not be just filter related because it's pretty massive. I think...- maaz

Neither have a mesh on top of the driver so that makes it a v2 I guess. From my EQ testing they sound closest to seanwee's v2 graph. And yes it's a single set with seemingly mismatched filters. And the bad news don't end there with these. I finally picked up a significant channel imbalance most...- maaz

Supposedly this is KZ's way of improving production efficiency, accuracy and consistency :ksc75smile: The one on the left has a visibly different, finer texture and a smaller opening (hard to see in the picture). Anyone know how something like this would affect the sound?- maaz

Tanchjim Space was on it, but I found in YouTube comments this guy saying that Hiby FC4 expanded his S12 soundstage by a lot, significantly more than his Space.- maaz

I somehow got used to the treble. 6-9k doesn't bother me so with your EQ I'm missing energy there now. While many complain about 8k with their v2, I actually boost it and it seems like my set is hot at around 15k. But I need more testing and better understanding of EQ to say for sure. Do you...- maaz

Today I visited the town of Sibilance with the population of KZ PR2 v2 and saw its famous peak of mount Treble... No eartips alone can save it for me. So far, seanwee's graph EQ'd to HBB target and anaveragebear's EQ (pg. 4122) work well but I hope I can find something even better. Compared to...- maaz

Newbie Squiglink question
How do I mix graphs from different reviewers? I select an IEM and it takes me to the reviewer's version of the page, from there I can only choose from their pool of graphed IEMs but not all of them on the site. How do I get around that?- maaz

USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best
Truthear Shio vs Tanchjim Space vs FiiO Q11. Any notable differences sound wise? Say, you wanna power a planar and get the widest, deepest soundstage, which one you'd pick?- maaz

USB DAC Keeps disconnecting from phone
Neutron, which is getting exclusive usb access. Poweramp too. YouTube, Spotify. Player doesn't make a difference, same disconnects happen if it has exclusive access or not.- maaz

USB DAC Keeps disconnecting from phone
So I got this Jcally JM6 Pro DAC, which is not that powerful — 1.6 vrms and it keeps disconnecting from my Poco F1 with Android 13. Usually like every 5, 10 seconds, sometimes a minute or 2. Yet sometimes it works perfectly fine for hours. And I can't figure out what's causing it. I changed...- maaz

Let's say you get a decently coherent sounding v2 with no crazy imbalance. Can you EQ it to sound identical to v1 or does it introduce issues like sibilance or lost detail? Have any Heyday, Timeless or s12 owners tried to EQ their PR2 to their targets, how close sounding does it get and what...- maaz

Can you upload your target please? I'm collecting various EQ presets for when my PR2 arrives to mess around with. I saw your previous post with EQ values but importable txt would be more convenient.- maaz

Since May 10 here. Only got a fake tracking number so far. Back when I contacted the seller, they told me the manufacturer asked them to wait and if I'm willing to do so too. I assume the delay is because of the whole mesh over driver thing - they want to ship the newer version.- maaz

I'm interested in this too. I ordered on May 9th and it's hasn't shipped. I suspect they might want the orders to auto cancel for those who used the coupon so they would reorder at a higher current price. Btw does anybody know how many times you can extend processing time in AE?- maaz
