If you're not using the Jot's internal DAC you could throw a Loki EQ in between the Jot and the DAC, that will let you adjust for the perfect sound and still keep the Jot's detail and resolution. A decent software EQ might be a solution too.I received my Jot a couple of days ago to replace my old Fiio 09. I've been pairing it with my (also new) Sennheiser HD650s. Unfortunately, I'm really not liking the sound at all. The resolution, detail and soundstage are all much better than my Fiio, but I can't stand the highs. They literally hurt my ears, even at volumes that I wouldn't consider loud at all. I can't turn it up above 10pm before the highs just kill me, but the mids and lows sound great at around 12pm. I'm probably going to return it as 550 euro is just too much money to spend on something I don't absolutely love. Don't know if I can go back to my Fiio though..
I use the Jot with the HD 600 and think it's just about perfect, so I can see how it might be a bit bright with the 650.
