Sonarworks Headphone Calibration software

[kendetamas]

I have been trying to get sonarworks workable for several weeks on my HTPC with windows 10.
It has worked once but does not get it working anymore.
the audio signal goes via a spdif signal to an external dac.
Then to the headphone amplifier and akg k812.
Does anyone have a solution to this conflict with the signal processing of sonarworks 4 on the HTPC to the dac.
It also seems to me that there are several people with the same attitude and encountered problems here.
Greetings from Holland.

Hello!

Can you remark on the sound of the akg k812 with the sonarworks preset? Is the peak around 5 Khz gone?

Here's the generic measurement that Sonarworks compensates for. (AKG812).

edit..For some reason I can't upload the file...sorry.

PM'd.

Here is at 80% Dry/Wet.

Are the Frequencies, plus/minus Gains, and Q's listed for that?

Would love for my DT-880s and Sony 7506's!

finally found some use of Sonarworks True-fi in my set up. It was one of those impulsive purchase during thanksgiving deals.
I am Roon or Audirvana users and my collection has music from of all sample rate and thats where my problem lies. True-Fi crashes with change in sample rate and I ended up investing in Roon to use the DSP for my 800s and 600 and because of its fantastic interface.
Long time Audirvana user will definitely fell in love with Roon's interface.
I subscribed to Qobuz and use Roon to listen to it. However I listen to lot of Bollywood music as well and Qobuz doesn't have great selection of bollywood music and hence I am subscriber of Apple music as well as it has all Bollywood Music.
Thats where True-fi comes to my rescue. When i use Roon i just disable True-Fi and use its own DSP engine with my EQ running. However when i switch to apple music, I enable True-fi as the sample rate will always remain 44.1Khz with apple music and I no longer have the issue of application crash and can still use the sound profile tuned for 800s and 600.
Finally I can justify the money I spent.

What I am asking specifically is, along with those pretty graphs showing before and after calibration, is there a page/screen showing a list of adjustments made, and at which frequencies?

Google 'tv calibration' - folks share their picture settings all the time! Should be ok to do between owners of the same makes and models of headphones.

No there isn't. This isn't folks sharing EQ settings..it's a company offering a product to studios and consumers. They offer a free trial. You have nothing to lose but some time. Only you can decide if it's worth that to you. I use it for the HD800. I have come across other EQ settings for Eqyalizer/APO which work fairly well, but I like the adjustments offer'd in Sonarworks for the bass and tilt controls.

Awww.. No harm in folks sharing settings now, is there? It is the Christian thing to do, right? Helpin' a brother? The man at 1600 helped a lot of his pals

Give SW a try...you may like it for it's flexibility.

I'll refrain from commenting about Mr. 1600....I'm getting ready for the rapture.

Maybe this could be of help:
