My (at least well-proven for me) method is simple: use separate (left- and right-channel) pink noise source and carefully selected few reference music tracks, and always create your own response curves anyway you find possible. Good quality 32-band equalizer with separate left/right Using an external multi-band (preferably 32-band external device OR internal app) equalizer after the DAC/headphone amp unit. Assuming that, for example, a DAC, such as the highly-regarded Dragonfly Red, will create the same great sound when driving your headphones and when driving your amp/speaker combination is simply naive and wrong.ī. I predict that this will be the next trend: high-quality DACs with custom adjustable frequency-response curves (preferably separate for the left & right channel). Using DAC/headphone amp unit with (even if elemental) internal equalizer. Specific ways to accomplish grand improvements always depending on our individual setup and may include:Ī. The reality of what reaches our ears (or, more precisely, separately our left and right ear) is surprisingly bad: and the remedies do not have to cost $5k. Indeed, changing frequency response AFTER digital processing by DAC and BEFORE the reproduced sound reaches our ears is the key and, practically, the most cost-effective mean of improving (read: restoring the original) sound. That takes us to the fact that our room acoustic (applicable to all amplification/speaker combinations) and our individual-ear hearing curves (applicable to all amplification/headphones combinations) are so often unjustly skipped.

The rule that the chain is as strong as the weakest part of it never ends. Sveik, your (old but still very valid) question is one of the most important issue an average audiophile may address.įor some strange reasons, in the recent years the reality is that audiophile industry focuses on obscene prices to introduce various esoteric elements of the audio path while forgetting certain "old-fashion" remedies that offer the highest bang for the buck. Please return the thread so that I have some chance at assistance.Įdited by svejk, 18 October 2012 - 12:12 AM. This is an internal hardware question and I'm running winxppro 32 bit. I would like to know if it's possible to implement any EQ that is capable of this. Winxp's audio controls do not affect the digital stream going to the USB ports.

Since it's not possible with this external device, I would like suggestions as to how to EQ the digital internally on it's way to the USB ports since winxp's equalizer, and others that I've tried, only control the soundcard output and have no affect (in fact they are greyed out entirely) when an audio device is plugged into the USB ports.

I would like to be able to control EQ if that is possible since the sound card in a PC does not control digital audio that goes to the USB ports.

My question therefore does not apply to my external hardware. The sofware lacks any EQ or tone controls. Like the headsets mentioned, they have their own drivers, DAC, and software. There are also USB connected FM transmitters. Therefore they have their own DAC, drivers, and software. The digital audio they receive from the PC must be converted somehow. Since they are not connected to the headphone output they are not controlled by the PC's soundcard. These devices connect directly to the computer via the usb ports. There are USB connected headphones on the market (primarily for gaming I understand) and USB connected external speakers as well.

Please return this thread to winxp home and pro section. In any case this is not an external hardware issue. Please explain the above a little more clearly for me? What do you mean "USB is the power source for the speakers that have ever had". In any case, beyond my ken.moving topic to External Hardware. My sound still goes through the soundcard to my external speakers.Īre you telling us that you have speakers that provide sound output via the USB ports? USB.is the power source for the speakers that I have ever had.only the power source.
