Experiment, should you need to. Many IEM boxes are lined with this material, I cut mine up from Mangird Teas :ksc75smile:
I have some nice Chinese moxibustion I can try....

After months of tweaking with EQ to make the CL2 perfectly neutral and to make CL2 qualities shine I think I have finally reached my goal and I thought It was worth sharing.

I'm sorry I don't know what a "decoder ring" is. English is not my native language, could you please be more clear?
what do all the numbers mean? 4000 -9.0 2.55...... ????

In order Frequency - Decibel - Quality factor
sigh...... how about this... The CL2 is perfect just the way it is?.... no?

Thanks — I’ll try these out. I have used an older version of the AutoEQ settings from 1 year ago (it made a huge improvement towards neutrality but killed some of the atmosphere) as well as the most recent settings linked in a post above (i am using this now, but i feel the highs are artificially increased and the bass and mid bass might be slightly reduced). In both of these cases I am using them via convolution filter in Roon and playing through Fiio Q5s.

I‘ll set your recommendations up as a another DSP profile in Roon to allow me to compare between the settings.

Some people may love the sound of the CL2 without Eq. For me it is almost unlistenable without Eq — fatiguing and unnatural.

I have set it up now. It will take a while to test these settings with enough music. First reaction is positive. Not as bright and also warmer than the latest AutoEQ convolution filter. Over time, I will try to determine if too much detail is lost.

I might also try adding some parametric EQ on top of the AutoEQ convolution filter to see if I can reduce the brightness and add warmth without while retaining more detail, three dimensionality, and atmosphere (not saying that @Draknodd EQ settings rob detail -- just inspired to experiment more).
