![]() ![]() Interestingly enough, I found the Philips SHP9600 to do very well with it, and really any amp/dac that has a warmer tone can also help mitigate those unwanted side effects. I find it to be very irritating at times, as most headphones don’t do too well in handling these discrepancies. I’m sure you’re at least partially aware of what I’m talking about. Similar to the Harman target, but not exactly in line with it.Īs you may or may not know, Classical does extremely well with some added bass emphasis (not too much), because the genre is really volatile and can easily sound tinny, bright, scratchy, and obnoxious due to it’s seemingly unpredictable variations in decibel level. ![]() I mostly find myself EQ’ing to to this type of sound.

I was just talking to someone on Instagram the other day about how phone dacs are closing that gap between bad quality and really good quality. Amps and DACS are becoming sort of a meme, and I’ve been harping on this point for over a year now.
