Hey guys.
Currently, I've got FLAC files that I've directly ripped from CDs, running through an HRT Music Streamer II, into a Burson Soloist SL, to a HifiMan HE-500.
I've listened to a friend's Shure SE535, driven by a Nexus 5. The sound was as good as my home setup, listed above. It got me worried that a seemingly better setup sounds about the same (the Shure had worse treble, but slightly better bass and mids) as a portable, lower quality setup.
On my setup, music doesnt sound clean. It sounds overwhelming, it sounds not accurate, like it's very busy.
Is there anything that I can do to improve the sound quality of my music? Am I doing something wrong, is there any way to achieve better sound quality from a PC?
Thank you.
