In what way have I gone heavy with the EQ? I'm have quite a lot to learn so I'm happy for feedback. Do you mean I chose too many frequency bands? I thought the idea is to make it as accurate as possible to the Harmen target. I use my FiiO JT1 with balanced cables and iBasso DC04 Pro portable DAC...

Do you have a guide?

Did I do it correctly?

Hi all, Just go my new Fiio JT1 paired with my Zen DAC v2. I'm looking for a parametricEQ using the Harman Over EAr curve for Peace and can't find any. Hopefully someone here may have a .txt file to share. Thanks.

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm not an expert in this. I saw the Philips SHP9500 in Aliexpress for about $60USD and I bought them. Looking at the pictures online and comparing them with what I got, it looks identical. The entire box is written in Chinese and there's a scratch code to...

Sorry for reviving this old thread, but I'm still encountering the issue I posted originally: and I'm looking for a way to: Help please :)

Thanks for the info. Is it possible to make the ATH-A900X balanced?

ok, that's good to know. Let me divert for a second based on your input. Say the A990X is better suited for gaming due to its sound stage and closed-back, what then would better music geared balanced and closed-back headphones be?

Hi. I got a Zen DAC v2 and I would like to pair it with a balanced closed-back budget headphone... if such an animal exists :) My current headphones are ATH-A900X and would like to replace them. The main use will be for games, hence the closed back. But equally important is a wide sound stage...

Thanks for the explanation. The zen dac v2 supports DXD. How can I do this conversion using Foobar?

I just gave it a go and it seems that each file I play, comes up as 44100Hz regardless if it's DSD64 or 128. What I've done to try and make these files play is: Then: and: Lastly: So I think what I've achieved is converting DSD512/1024 to DSD256 which is what the Zen DAC v2 supports...

Hi. I'm trying to troubleshoot this error. I use Zen DAC v2 with the latest drivers and firmware from iFi. I followed a PDF guide on how to setup Foobar for DSD playback. When I try to play a DSD512 file, I get: "Unrecoverable playback error: Sample rate of 22579200 Hz not supported by this...

Is there a loss of quality by converting to PCM?

Hi. I use iFi Zen DAC V2 on my Win11 PC. I have DSD (64, 128, 256) and I use EqualizerAPO. Each time I play a DSD file, the iFi device "disappears" from Windows/Foobar and the E-APO doesn't affect it anymore. I tried used VST EQ plugins and I observed the same thing where the EQ doesn't...

Ok, I tried that but then foobar fails to play files such as: DSD64, 128, 256
