Yes, it's confusing. But the SQ is great with the SE846 in Balanced. Definitely better than Single Ended. I suggest to give it a try.
Thanks. Will do.

Shure SE846.
I am considering getting a set of balanced cables for them.
However, Onkyo states in the specs not to go below an impedance of 32 ohms for balanced earphones. The SE846's are supposed to be 9 ohms. But, I've read posts where people are using their SE846's on the DP-X1 in balanced mode. Kind of confusing.
I thought the Balanced output impedance is 2 ohms - which is pretty close to the 1/8th rule and the SE846's 9 ohms. I dunno how Onkyo got that 32 ohm minimum spec. 32/8 = 4 ohm, not 2 ohm.
Anywho, I use the SE846 with DP-X1 and think it sounds great. That's all that matters anyways, right? Lol
That's good to hear. Are you using the SE's balanced or unbalanced?
Whats the best digital filter setting and lock range adjust ? Using SLOW digital filter and Normal lock range with Gain low 2.

I think it's a personal preference. For me the difference is very subtle. When you play MQA files the player recommends to use the Short Filter. A narrow Lock Range Adjust sounds great but there can be dropouts while playing very highres stuff. I suggest you set it as narrow as your files allow you. You should experiment a little to find your perfect settings.
Guys I am a prospect DP-X1 buyer and i want to know if they hiss with shure se846? I will buy this mainly for Tidal so its very important....also AK70 is an excellent choice so does dx-1 perform better than AK70? Is there any other DAP that you'd recommend.
Thanks
