@mvw2 the effect you describe may be due to the low impedance of the SE846, which, combined with its rather uneven impedance curve over frequency makes it rather sensitive to the amps output impedance. Generally less than 1ohm is recommended for the SE846.
Yep, it could be. I'm just playing off an Asus ROG Phone II, and I haven't found the impedance of the output. All I know is I haven't gotten the same behavior with other IEMs I have, but that's not saying much. I know the SE846 is sensitive to this. I just can't confirm the setup of the source player to confirm/deny this is an issue. My amp/dac is an old Meier Corda 2Move which has <1 ohm output impedance.
