M570 should be amped for sure.

While impedance is low, that large planar driver needs juice.

Some other good entry-level options: liquid spark amp and dac for desk top, topping nx4dsd for portable.

Can I the he400i with amplifier less good?
Never tried that model, but from my experience planar drivers generally require more amplification/voltage than dynamic or BA drivers to reach their potential.

The wood cups are more apparent in the light

Has anyone compared the M570 to the M1060c w/ the open back mod?

The ringing is due to the plastic backplate inside the earpads....all the mono planars from M570 backwards have this issue - overdamped outside or/and plastic earpad mounts causing ringing reflections.
Get these instead...you can stretch them on...not as thick or angled hence won't sound as V-shaped vs stock pads....fenestrated only in the earhole.
$10 done deal....comfy as stock.

My modified M565C sounds better than all Aeon iterations up to Aeon 2...
Thanks again! Finally got these pads from AE and they are great with M570.

Firstly, they're a bit smaller leading to improved fit: better seal and less sliding.

Sounds like they round off some peaks in upper mids and add more meat to low mids and bass extension. Excellent!
