I actually like that Sony's product refresh cycle is longer than Chi-Fi... Buy a Sony every 3-5 years and stay current...

I'm having the same issue but for me it is the right earbud with lower volume (and perhaps recessed mids). This is my second pair (first pair was replaced under warranty when the left earbud quit working). Not sure how the warranty works with replacements. I bought directly from Sennheiser...

Agree, wish there was a better way to create playlists though. And, of course, a way to play albums without playlists or even just folder navigation.

I updated my OG R5 and everything is fine. I did do a factory reset, but that's just me. Been playing with the global PEQ most of the day...

Got it. Whole numbers only. I was wondering what was going on as the files looked to be the same format.

Nope, not really. Its main strength is managing your local library and high quality playback. Qobuz and Tidal are integrated. It does let you manage multiple zones and devices simultaneously (and even sync them). Recently, it has added "away from home" access as well (Roon ARC). There is...

It does both and also acts a a music server...

Sure I would get the M23 if I didn't already have the M11 Plus ESS for only the $50 difference... https://roon.app/en/ Expensive, but cool...

Cool. I was looking for reasons to hang on the M11 Plus ESS... I don't care for the new port locations or the loss of 2.5mm anyway. And, of course, the M11 Plus is great DAP to start with (and already Roon Ready)...

Which Autoeq.app equalizer app export type works the best with the new PEQ? I tried a few but I am getting data error. The file formats for some are similar to squig.link except for shelf filters. When I set up a 10 band custom PEQ without shelf filters, it still wouldn't import, so it's...

Should restart if you hold down the power button for 30 seconds or so. I did the OTA update so not sure on the process you are using.

Hell freezes over, the R5 (and R6, R6 Pro) just got a firmware update. Really fantastic support! Changelog: 1. Added PEQ function (Audio Settings -> PEQ); 2. Updated HiByMusic version number to 6072; 3. Fixed issue where Apple Music version 4.7.0 cannot work; 4. Various bug fixes; Edit...

Fantastic to see continued support! Really great.

I assumed yours were more accurate (based on your measurements and graphs), just wanted to validate the frequencies and Q values. Thank you for the information - and the measurements!

These don't quite agree with what is in the manual (125 Hz and 3 kHz). My guess is that these are more correct including the Q values? It rather easy to set up a 4 band custom parametric on AutoEQ with the fixed frequencies and get a decent curve.
