And do you have to unplug your headphones every time you turn on and off the monoblocks to avoid the pop on and off noises?
I can see other say its mandatory for class AB amps, not sure if it is for class D as well.

No, I never turn off the monoblocks. Being class D, they produce very little heat, and being NCore, they didn't pop. But I do unplug the headphones after each use, in case there is a surge in the line.

For an added lair of protection, you can get an attenuation box like the HE adapter. This would give you a little more headroom out of your pre-amp / DAC.

Grabbed the LCD-5 today and coming from the 4, the first thing I notice is the 5 is way more comfortable. Listen to mostly Metal and Rock, so far really enjoying the 5.

Trivium, particularly the last few releases, sounds amazing on LCD-5

Hi guys, what are some good EQ profiles for LCD-5?

How does this work with equaliser APO? I don't use roon and my primary music source is tidal/spotify

You have to add the convolution filter from the drop down menu.

That being said, I would try out other methods first before buying some premade convolution filter. If you are tech savvy, you can make your own with Rephase and import them into EQAPO. Or I can give you mine that I made from the AutoEQ repository. I'll post pics of my APO setup as well once I get some free time.

Edit: Copy this into a text file, then make it a WAV file: https://pastebin.com/BmL97YQB

He's the setup I use for APO. I've got a hearing imbalance in my left ear, which is why I have it set up like this. I also have a separate convolution for my HD800. All you need is the preamp, selectr channel (choose all) and the convolution with impulse.

Here's a jump back in time when we were discussing this. Congrats on the new toy.

Also, just a disclaimer, this filter uses minimum phase for the sub bass boost. I have a higher tap filter that uses linear phase for the sub bass, but I would warn that it likely has quite a bit of pre-ringing and a noticably large delay.

I've been using the oratory1990 for the RME, but there's a universal parametric as well.

Hmm, I tried the filter but there's quite a bit of static/farting noise as I'm playing the music. How do I solve that?

3db bass shelf at 125hz is literally all it needs to my ears. But you can use this tool to create an EQ profile.

I believe that squig was traced from a measurement of my unit! Ymmv as there is a tiny amount of unit variation in the treble.

Do you happen to have resolve's latest eq? Thanks.

Sounds like the preamp is incorrect and you are clipping. Or the filter was copied incorrectly. I can share my direct file with you, just PM me a link where you want me to drop the file.
