Thanks for contributing too! I totally agree that changing one frequency can drastically change how you perceive the others, but I believe this is usually an effect of how we mentally filter and process our senses. If one recognizes a frequency range and pays attention to it, one can hear...

Here's mine: Freq (Hz), Gain (dB), Q 170,-4.0,0.6 1980, -3.0, 2 3682, -1.5, 3.5 3800, 2.5, 7 4313, 4.5, 3.5 4750, 2.5, 2 5365, -2, 5.5 7500, -3, 9 7600, 4, 3       It's by no means perfect and it definitely takes the warm roundness out of the ES5, but overall I feel...

Nailclippers worked for me.

Kept trying out your ES5 measurements for a little more than a month - I like what you did with the rockbox. However, when using your EQ settings with better source such as my desktop setup (Audio-GD DI-V3>Anedio D1), I still think you are forgetting to attenuate frequencies past 4000Hz. There...

I tried out the rockbox EQ for about 30 mins today - the -7.5 dB drop at 200 seems a little drastic and makes my headphones sound a little thin

I'm using Fab-Filter Pro-Q with Foobar 2k   Also the 7180 Hz entry should have a gain of 1.5, not 3.0 (a typo)

Some clarification needed - does the 7,4,2,1,7 represent the Q values of each peak respectively?   If so, I found the sound of the curve fun but it compressed the sound stage quite a bit and colored the sound.  I shall try late on my rockbox give you my impressions on that device.    ...

Would love to see how this compares to my other portable media players (Sansa Clip Zip, SFlo:2, iPod)

Quote: oooooo, Could someone bring your Anedio D1? I've been thinking about buying that DAC for so long now....

I'm quite interested in coming to this meet - sign me up!

So, I just received my Stello DA100 and while I think it is an amazing DAC, it made me realize how ridiculously good NFB-3 to C2 AMP via ACSS is.   The NFB-3 connected via RCA to the C2 amp is no match for DA100 connected to the C2 via RCA. However, the sonic difference between connecting...

I personally have owned D2000s, and D5000s with D7000 cups as well as the IE8s (all at once)   I find that the bass of the Denons are far more satisfying, providing a head rumbling experience at louder volumes. Soundstage isn't that great on the Denons. The treble between the 2...

I'd be interested - I listen to mostly rock, electronic, and classical. My current source is the NFB3, my HP amp is the Audio GD C2 (connceted via ACSS)   I currently own the Sennheiser IE8 and Klipsch X5 as far as IEMs go. I'm getting a pair of HE-5s soon. And my speaker setup is Adam...

  So, I recently found my IE8s lying in juice   I dried them out and tried to get as much juice out of them as possible - then I left them in a jar of rice for several hours.   I'm using them right now and...well at least it works.   However I'm a little worried there is still...

If you plan on buying an amp for you denon's, I would suggest you look into spending your money on a DAC before you get an amp   I got an Audio GD NFB-3 (DAC) and later got a Audio GD C2 (Amp) - both cost around $350 for me, and 350 spent on the source was did so much more than the 350 spent...
