Would the Loki help with the lack of bass within the Senn 800s

It adds some, yes. It's not boomy bass though. It's clean, linear and it doesn't interfere with the natural frequency response of the HD800S's.

Great just a little more bass and the 800s are impossible to beat.

They are fantastic headphones. The HD800S's are one of the most accurate headphone I own. The Loki adds just enough low end to make them a very enjoyable listen.

Thanks above. Sorry for not researching. Is there a Loki Max. Or does one with the 800s headphones just purchase the original Loki ?

They are working on a Loki Max now so it may be worth waiting

Thanks

After comparing Schiit's own measurement of the Loki mini + and SBAF's measurement of the loki mini with aligned y and x axis, it seems that the center frequency and Q values are not changed, except for the treble (8k) band, which now seems to have a center frequency of 7k instead of 8k:

Is anyone aware of a device out there that's similar to the mythical Loki Max please?

I am seeking a hardware stereo EQ that has at least 8 bands and a remote control. So far my search results are either pre-1990s or modern rack-mount pro gear, neither of which have a remote.

Thanks,
Simon

Schitt web says 4 week delivery for Loki plus. Must not be in stock. Would luv to add some bass to my Sen 800s

So the idea of high quality, high end, tone controls done in hardware is becoming increasing appealing to me. Software tone controls (EQ) don't interest me that much though. The idea of opening a app, tweaking a profile, listening, then deciding I don't like what I hear, and then tweaking again...just seems like torture...and completely takes me me out of the music.

So if Schiit designs a mini "cello audio palate"...I'm in...if it's really transparent, but honestly, another active component in the analog signal path just ain't very "high end"...

But here's my question...and it's probably a better question for Mike Moffat...could a product with 5-10 EQ knobs (parametric knobs?) be designed to operate solely in the digital domain? I'm thinking a box with tone control knobs that sits between the digital source and the DAC (or perhaps a combined DAC/EQ [tone control] box) that tweaks the EQ in the digital domain, with a knob, on the fly while I listen, before the D to A conversion is done. How much lag would there be after I turn a tone control knob and hear the change?

This is a product I would buy in a heartbeat...just a thought.

These frequency/amplitude plots for the 4 bands show 7 positions for each band. Are these steps in the hardware, or are the controls continuous?

Continuous, no fixed steps

All I know is when the Loki becomes available I want to try it with the Sen 800s. Too see if we can add some bass

Loki Mini+ arrived today, and Holy Schiit! [Genuflects toward Corpus Chrisi]

I used to run my 2-ch through an ancient GAS Thoebe, bumping bass and treble in a subtle way to liven up my DIY open baffles.

Then everything went to Schiit, Mimby and SYS, beautiful but not complete.

Today, instantly, Loki wakes the bass, dials out an annoying room resonance, puts sparkle back into the treble, all without screwing up anything else. At all.

Genius.
