Right, haha, sorry your picture was pretty clear on how perfectly aligned the bass is so I didn't think it was worthwhile to comment on something obvious and I just jumped at what seemed curious to me. Thanks for taking the time to measure the M6, comparing it with the other daps, and explaining stuff in an empirical manner for those of us who are looking to know more about the M6. Haha, I hope that there will be more non subjective comparisons here in the future.That is either the DAC filters at work, or its my measurement system - it always struggles measuring DACs. I suspect its the roll-off from the filters though.
If I measure just the amp sections with RMAA - all devices pretty much measure flat.
The thing to concentrate on is the bass though. There is no deviation. The X5iii (pink) has always been described as quite warm - and that could be due to some high end roll-off due to the DAC filters. Even though i know the E17K is essentially dead flat - it always seems slightly bright to me. Perhaps because it is so flat.
The M9 and M7 are practically identical in terms of frequency response.
