Hello 
, I wanted to get some advice, because apparently this is the only forum to talk in detail about using the Maxwell. I've explored the pages a bit, but 239 pages seems like torture to me even with the keyword search (but I've learned a lot already thanks to you) especially to know about a few quick questions to answer. Audeze's after-sales service hasn't replied, so I'm turning to you.
In particular, I wanted to know whether you thought DOLBY ATMOS on Windows or Android (on the phone too subtle to judge, but I have the impression that they were stronger, so better, especially for Netflix... ) were advantageous to activate it or not, some saying that the spatializations offered by ATMOS are just right for open-world RPGs for immersion, but not for online games that require more precise sound positioning even with the "Performance" mode (some prefer to deactivate it and activate it in detail, I don't know if it's really better), I've seen that most games don't support ATMOS, in fact very few do, so the interest in ATMOS would lie mainly in digital activities that do support it, such as downloaded FILMS, some with a DTS codec, others with ATMOS (and these are much easier to find than games or music), if ATMOS support isn't present for film, it still seems to me that immersion is better with DOLBY spatialization for films, even if the file doesn't support it (tell me if I'm wrong, it's my impression) for music, by the way, some music is ATMOS-certified, but I listen to FLAC sound via Deezer (even though it's usually FLAC 16bit 44Khz), so I think 24bit/96Hz without ATMOS (because Windows 10 decreases to 24bit/48HZ with ATMOS, it's annoying to have to change it every time you activate the GAME device, because my CHAT device is the default communication device - that's what's recommended anyway, because I have to admit I had trouble understanding at first, and still do today, that the sound of the Discord cat drowns out the game sound without me being able to do anything about it, including turning the MIX AMP knob up or down - it's hard to find the right compromise, it's either one or the other. ... perhaps you've already had the same problem and managed to solve it with a trick? ) I'll start again: Or is 24bits/96hz really useless for Deezer FLAC, which generally doesn't exceed 1.411 Mbps? In any case, if I deactivate ATMOS or not, as discussed on this forum, should I leave 24bits/96hz? Or lower it to 24bits/48hz https://linustechtips.com/topic/1000015-24-bit-48khz-or-96khz-whats-better/?
So without Atmos seems to me a better optimization for music (some appreciate the detailed mode of the Music setting on Atmos, it remains to be verified but not easy ... ) and also for most games, even open-world RPGs, because I think these games have a hard time supporting this software correctly. Now I'm saying this, but it's a bit vague for me to form an opinion, it's very subjective and perhaps biases the true scientific nature of the most correct hypothesis with regard to quality between the two, and that's why I'm asking you these questions.
Secondly, with regard to equalizers, particularly if you activate ATMOS and an Audeze HQ custom equalizer or one of their presets is activated at the same time as the ATMOS equalizer or those customized for it, is this a problem? Knowing that you can't remove the HQ one because it's integrated, should you set the equalizer to deactivate for films, for example? I haven't touched the Windows settings in the device option, where you can check Virtual surround, Bass Boost, Loundness EQ... the same principle: avoid touching? Does this serve any purpose here with the Maxwell? Same thing for Android and equalizer settings in phone settings or via an app?
Lastly, what do you think of this https://www.soundguys.com/ldac-ultimate-bluetooth-guide-20026/ Unfortunately, it's French, but it explains why LDAC isn't all that interesting, so I'm wondering about the concrete facts and those used by marketing, which often misleads the consumer, but it explains why LDAC isn't all that interesting, so I'm wondering about activating it or staying on the auxiliary cable, even if the FLAC music isn't as loud but is perhaps of better quality? I live in the country, so I'm rarely in the city or on the subway, so interference isn't a problem for me, nor is the distance between my head and the pocket of my jeans, but maybe removing LDAC in certain situations where the connection is saturated by the activity of big cities or trains might be a little more certain... I don't know...
Thank you so much for your patience and kindness
, maybe these questions are simple, but I haven't managed to find any real answers, the doubts persist, because in spite of everything I think they're quite complex, especially for a beginner
