[QUOTE="blr_p, post: 1061798, member: 10952"] Ok, so the amp is not very signficant here, whatever the source, it will just do its job. See below. Right, so lets consider that then. D2 + BBE + what speaker or headphone ? Its just blind testing isn't it. You might find a speaker or headphone that works but it would be luck and it would be harder to improve on it. Instead, if you go D2 (line out) might it be easier to make the choice ? Given you've shown that the D2 is fairly neutral . The problem arises if you want to have BBE after. Your choice of speaker or headphone might sound off ? or not ? This is my rationale to stick to flat. Thing is what happens to those settings you so carefully spent time doing when you upgrade your speakers or heaphones ? I'm aware of your plugin experiements as i read your two guides :) I recall your distaste for the DFX enhancer. I played with that plugin long ago when my mp3s were 128-160 kbs, made a big difference, thing is you could get tired of that kind of sound after a while. After I realised with better encoded material there was no need for DFX at all and its been that way ever since. Lol, this is an exceptional case when the material isn't properly done in the first place. Yeah, you could improve things upto a certain point. [/QUOTE]
