IMO, yes the Minimum Phase is bit warm, others are not.
For Audeze LCD-2, Turbo is too much, Normal has too little volume range, Eco is just right, both subjectively and objectively. Eco is 2Vrms, which is more than enough even considering headroom for dynamic peaks like soundtracks or classical music.
P.S.: This shows how powerful the iFi micro iDSD is.
In my experienced, only Turbo with iEMatch on causes audible distortion. Turbo for the LCD was just too much. When I demoed the LCD-2 (not sure what revision), I would use Normal with iEMatch off or iEMatch in High Sensitivity. No distortion in using iEMatch on both Eco and Normal. I also find Normal to add more body to the sound as compared to Eco hence my using of Normal with High Sensitivity or even Ultra Sensitivity sometimes for my efficient Philips Fidelio L2. Could be placebo but as long as I'm happy.
