And if Tidal lists them as MQA hi-res, they may just be 16-bit in a fake hi-res wrapper. They were for me.
Lol yes true. Wow this is so sad.

OK, then you can't use EQ if you want MQA unfold.Yes I can
I thought Qobuz's 16 bit files were all 44.1khz (CD quality). All the stuff I listen to is at least CD quality on Qobuz.Just tried out Qobuz again and it does only offer 96 kHz 16bit for me and only for a handful of songs in my playlist. So that's not an option.
Other options would be Amazon music hd or Apple music once lossless is working on Android.
So I guess my best option would be to use an equalizer alongside with Amazon music hd on the dx300.
I found the song in Roon as 'censored world' lol. Yes, for this type of song I would definitely apply EQ with the EVO. And then it still sounds a little shouty.Btw can you listen to the track "****ed up World" by The Pretty Reckless without getting pain? Even with my H40 it's sometimes getting too intense / peaky
Edit: damn head-fi censored the song title lol
It's "*** e d up World"
Not again
16 bit can also be 96 kHz apparentlyI thought Qobuz's 16 bit files were all 44.1khz (CD quality). All the stuff I listen to is at least CD quality on Qobuz.
Honestly I don't think I can tell the difference between that and lossless.
Well i can't complain it also sounds shouty and almost sibilant with my H40 and those are very easy to the ears.I found the song in Roon as 'censored world' lol. Yes, for this type of song I would definitely apply EQ with the EVO. And then it still sounds a little shouty.
For Metal and with a lot of slam I would definitely recommend the Clairvoyance (used for that price) but they are not warm, but rather neutral with an enhanced bass.Whats the best recommendations for warm sounding iems with great slam for metal under 500? To be used with Qudelix 5k
Don't get the Tea if you're sensitive to hot upper mids. I found them very fatiguing, but realize I'm in the minority here.If you want them warmer, I would recommend the Mangird Tea.
Im really sensitive to upper treble tones. When i was looking for headphones and listened to a few in the local hifi shops, such as the dt1990 or grado, I had to take em off after 30 seconds because it was horrifying. I always eq everything i have with a steep slope from bass to highs. An example of highs i think is super comfortable is the Bose QC35II, but they lack in so many other fields.Don't get the Tea if you're sensitive to hot upper mids.

But the 1990 and the grados haven't elevated upper mids, but treble spikes.Im really sensitive to upper tones.

I see that i misread the previous post, I thought it said upper tones. But then I understand. The Mangirds are definately on my list to check out. Been looking at the Xenns Up aswell, but may be a bit above budget.But the 1990 and the grados haven't elevated upper mids, but treble spikes.
The Mangird Tea has a very relaxed treble zone above 4 kHz. That's the reason I recommended it to you.
Yes, they are definitely more expensive, although they do look like basshead heaven.I see that i misread the previous post, I thought it said upper tones. But then I understand. The Mangirds are definately on my list to check out. Been looking at the Xenns Up aswell, but may be a bit above budget.
