Hi guys,
I am current pairing my HFI-780 with the Audinst HUD-MX1 DAC/AMP. I mainly listen to melodic death metal, power metal and some progressive metal (children of bodom, fleshgod apocalypse, Hammerfall, Sonata Arctica, Dream Theater). Tonight I have played around with the iTunes Equalizer just for fun and I have found that I quite like the sound produced by the "Vocal Booster". The bass is reduced a little and the vocal is definitely strengthen and can finally hit the sweet spot. Now I understand why people say the 780 is mid recessed and now I can't "unhear" the deficit in the mid range.
Since the equalizer makes the music a bit unbalanced and loses some dynamics, I am looking for a better way to solve the problem. Is there any good quality software equalizer that I can use within windows or osx? (Im now using iTunes -> Bit Perfect for osx -> HUD-Mx1 ->780) OR I should do a recabling for my headphone? OR should I get another cans? (I have compared the frequency response curves of 780 and sr325is but I have found that sr325is has higher response for high frequency but not the mid range so it may not solve the problem, am I correct?)
thanks.
