Dom Q’s spot - IEMs and Photography

In actuality, PEQ is the way to save all of us all of the money. It’s just a fact. Looks like you really dialed them in! They must sound great. The bass level looks damn near perfect on the graph!

Sometimes tracks with less than stellar bass I hear some bleed but again only a dB or so pulled out simply makes the mids bloom in the best of ways.

Sources matter more than many know. This $150 battery linear power supply with a few mods feeds both the DAC and AMP of DX340. The circuit that enables and handles charging of the 2 internal batteries is automatically bypassed when 9V up to 12V is detected on the USB-C port but only when music is playing. Pause the music and it switches back to internal battery. Now it’s quick to ‘disconnect’ and just use the 340. Anantar Ultimate V4 | Official Project Page

The linear regulation is MUCH quieter than the internal power circuits. It’s one of those you don’t know it’s there until it’s gone kinda thing :wink: Oh and the LHY has nearly 4x the runtime as internal batteries. Yes, it’s a brick but it’s approaching legit desktop SQ territory and yet I move it all over the place without issue.

Here’s the CX02-3 mapped to 622B response. Just copy the block of txt, save it in a plain text file and import into Wavelet.

or here is the straight output to enter in manually into whatever PEQ program you wish. I like Wavelet as it allows a % ‘strength’ to be adjusted on the PEQ so say you like it what it does to the sound but it’s a little ‘too’ much…dial it back to 50% while retaining the ‘curve’. The peaks and troughs simply get 50% more shallow vs 100% strength.

You’re too kind, dude.

Wowzers - I respect the hell out of this level of audiophile, but I tend to appreciate this level from afar for sure. I will say that it looks like the EQ is bang on, so I assume it sounds pretty good. I thought the 622b was a good IEM, not blow my mind amazing, but definitely good, no doubt. I think I’d prefer the bass levels of the stock Silver Flash, though :slight_smile:

Graphs are misleading. The apparent level of bass really doesn’t change to my ear only the upper mids/treble.

I’m retired. I have time. Well not that much time but time to do what ever I want…until the dirt nap :wink:
