I don't mean to be rude, but what's the point of cranking up all the EQ bands like that other than to introduce a ton of hiss? Do you need the extra volume or something? Why not use 0/1/0/8/1 which sounds very similar if not exactly the same (it's hard to tell for sure because of the volume differences), and doesn't have nearly the amount of hiss as yours does.
Maybe your headphones don't hiss as the TripleFis are on the sensitive side, but in my experience the player is almost dead quiet with no EQ/enhancements, and then if you turn on the EQ or BBE+ settings you get quite a bit of hiss, and with yours it's crazy hissing.
I see a lot of users on the iAudiophile forums posting similar settings and I just don't get it.
OK, moving on: does anybody actually know what any of the BBE+ settings/enhancements actually tweak in the frequency spectrum? I've been fiddling around with mine for a while now - the S9 sounds OK with out any EQing, but with some fairly modest tweaking the music just sounds so much more exciting and engaging. Enough so that I just may have to live with the slight hiss that results. I turned between a little bit of BBE and Mach3Bass, I'm getting great bass impact out of my TF10s, but the mid-bass is sounding a bit bloated to me. I'm working on wringing that midbass out, but it would be really helpful to see how all the different enhancements affect the EQ spectrum, if possible.
Is there a free program that I could use to connect my S9 into my mic input on my PC and get some kind of frequency response chart?
Also I was curious if anybody had a "visual" representation of what the wide/normal/narrow settings do on the EQ bands. I know I'm asking a lot here, but it would be really helpful to have all this information available.
