Not sure how you have it set up, but try the default settings with two small changes. Unclick LF on the first page, but leave it set to 6. Decrease the sub to around 10% on the next page.
your config should look like this:
DTS
CM
DHP
Limiter
Don't remove the center channel or boost its value. Doing that only flattens the sound stage by moving the vocals closer to the plane the left and right channels are in. Think about it.
The sub channel is also very helpful (especially with my 701s and 880s) and may be decreased but not removed.
Keep in mind that although there are many tweaks to play with, the developers found the best settings already and used them as their default settings.
Enjoy.

However it sounds absolute crap on my ATH-CKM55. Tried many different setups and the soundstage only gets congested, barely outside my head, and distorted (its in a curve shape, near my ears but far from my nose). These ATH already have outstanding soundstage for IEM at this price, so I'll stick with their stock sound |
