I thought it was just me. I've tried: RE-262, ER-4P/S, Triple-Fi, R-50, Gratitude, and a few I can't remember. I think the BBE spoiled me.
anyone knows how to use the update from sdcard?
Finally other DX50 owners who feel that the DX50 was brighter for the longest time I thought I was alone. And you are definitively right about using darker sounding iems to soften the brightness.
Lol - I thought I was alone as well! Do you know of any "darker" portable amps that would go well with the DX50? I thought my RSA Predator would help but in actuality it doesn't darken the sound much. I also gave the C&C BH2 a shot but it seems pretty much neutral, which I suppose is what you want in an amp. Not knocking the C&C though - seems like a lot of bang for the buck.

Are you sure that the line out is bright? I do not think so. The amp section is a bit bright.
In my view, the DX50 line out does not require a dark amp (although you might otherwise like dark amps).
To be honest I truly think this is personal, I tried without and with and I tend to favor with an amp. The added advantage is that it is easier to control the volume than the up and down button from the dx50. I like the feel of a gorgeous knob between my fingers
My RSA intruder definitively does, it's so far the best but a tad pricey. I also use the pico Slim and it has helped not as much as the RSA though. I would not be surprised other RSA amps would also do, that's the RSA house sound. I avoid using my SE535 with the DX50 directly, it just annoys me after a while. The HD600 is amazing with the DX50 with or without an amp ( headphones seem to not be as affected as iems with brightness) although it works best with an amp. I haven't tried more expensive iems or headphones, don't have the cash at the moment. Would love to hear if there are iems that don't sound as bright with the DX50. Should I add IMO
I really like the Cardas EM5813 with the DX50. To me it's a darker IEM that goes well with the perceived brightness of the DX50.
Thanks for the tip, that is what I should be looking for, when I'll inherit, win at the lotto or get a better job lmao
