Yup, totally agreed!ROHM is more for people who listen to vocals. It excels in mid-range.
I'm using this case, very well made!Xduoo XD-05Pro Leather Protective Case is available now

It is good in mids, not because it is good there, but because have drops in lows and highs.ROHM is more for people who listen to vocals. It excels in mid-range.
Why don’t you show us your measurements and then we can discuss from there onwards?I would recommend to make own measurements of frequency response on ROHM module. Guarantee - you will be disappointed on both Lows and Highs

Coz some of us might not have the capabilities or the right equipments to make our own measurements.
Or you are also just quoting measurements done by other people? If so, could you please link the source as well?
Please don’t take this the wrong way as I’m just curious and wanted to learn more. Plus it is hard to convey tone in a wall of texts and people often misunderstood tone through texts.
Cheers.
Fully agree. Judging a DAC based on measurements is no different than doing benchmarks of mobile chipsets, far from real-life scenarios.In my experience, the difference in signature between the various types of DAC is not a mere question of frequency response, which today is almost linear for all, but mainly the dynamic behavior (macro dynamics) and the capacity for introspection (microdynamics). These differences in dynamic behavior modify the perception of "sound energy" that we perceive at various frequencies. This must then be coupled with the behavior of headphones or speakers, in order to obtain the result that each of us prefers.
-2 db @ 20 Hz ...and... 0.8 db @ 20kz, ...really? Those are totally irrelevant, compared to the differences in frequency response of the headphones or speakers you listen to.Shared before in this post: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/xduoo-xd05pro.964620/post-17762857
i think that the ESS dac is excellent as well, but maybe too excellent in my taste? if that make sense.Speaking of DAC and preference. I think the ESS module is excellent. Does anyone here prefer the AKM module? Is it warmer with looser technicals?
U stayed in Singapore as well right? If U keen to try I can let U try mine ROHM with HA8802 with Ufeel MK8.Thanks @ChangTan. It does get fatiguing. Sometimes I switch to a less resolving IEM. I am not sure if I want to get the ROHM dac. The UFEEL MK09 pushes the mids forward as well. I guess the problem is that you can't try the other dacs without buying them.
Yes, really. Even flat frequency response mean not a lot in terms of sound quality, but issues in it usually shows deeper problems and I've definitely heard them.-2 db @ 20 Hz ...and... 0.8 db @ 20kz, ...really? Those are totally irrelevant, compared to the differences in frequency response of the headphones or speakers you listen to.
If you really think that this could be the reason why some prefer the midrange performance of the ROHM module... I think that sooner or later you will find yourself starting to consider things from other points of view too, if you really want to orient your choices consciously in such a complex matter.
