Maybe it's due to the bleeps & odd instruments, since the DT48a are used to measure hearing, can't explain it.. But if I ever go to another meet I will take these DT48a & ACIXs CD to use as a reference, & from my listening experience the combo is surreal.

Well, I use my DTs as a reference. One of the roles they played was to ensure that the sound steered clear of distortion. Yes, this album can really be used as a reference CD for headphones. There is enough deep bass, sound stage and instrument separation, depth and frequency extension to identify every function that headphones can offer. By the way, this works well on speakers, too.
Most of my headphone reviews were based on this album.
