You might have hit the nail right on the head. One of the most noticeable changes from the sound was the hot treble. It was really absent from my T90s when I plugged them into the Modi 2 Uber something that never happened when I plugged it to my laptop. The T90s tend to be the type of headphone that benefit greatly in terms of detail when that treble is there, cutting that out tends to make them a bit less detailed. It makes sense why my initial impressions of the T90s were quite off from what everyone else was experiencing. Helps to have multiple sources, I would have sold a really nice headphone without knowing the fault was on my side with the amp I had around. Now I'll just have to find an amp that has a nice Synergy with the T90s. Hoping the next headphone meet we'll have in my city is soon so I can compare them being run out of different setups. May I ask which amp or amps you use with them?
I'm going to be getting a pair of T90's soon.
I'll be testing them out with the Gustard X12 DAC and H10 amp, as well as with the Audiolab M-DAC. I expect the H10 to have the best synergy with the T90's due to its slightly warmer, smoother nature. The H10 also has excellent synergy with the DT880's - it brings them to a level of quality similar to the LCD-2's imo.
The M-DAC should provide a more neutral/accurate presentation, letting the details in the high end come through more.
We'll see how it goes, though. I'll report back soon
