(Skip to second paragraph to skip backstory)
Let me start by saying that I've fairly recently purchased a pair of A700's to replace my lost er-6i's, and the one thing that rather irks me about the Audio Technica's is the substantial dip in response at around 2.5kHz. Looking at a graph of the iPod's 'Acoustic' EQ link I realized it might help smooth out the A700's response quite a bit, and after a quick test, it really did, but of course at the all to heavy cost of distortion. So basically, I'm looking for a way to let me add that EQ without the distortion, and at the moment I'm converting my replaygain values to apple's soundcheck, hoping that'll be a viable solution.
So then my question is, does ReplayGain add enough headroom that I shouldn't need to worry that the ~3.6dB increase of the Acoustic EQ might cause some songs to clip?
