![]() Like every second night or so I spent a fair amount of time comparing the EQ’d Elear with the both the non-EQ’d and EQ’d Clear. I wonder if the people who sell the fancier plugins share some of the revenue with the authors of the core applications, I hope so. “Kinda” because the main apps are donation-funded (I felt a level of freeloader guilt that I estimated at $20 which is what I gave) but many plugins aren’t free at all. Even at 58 Q’s I still had 58 different gain values assigned to each add to that tiny variations in crossfeed not to to mention the other myriad effects that come with this software which is kinda free. A lot of people say that the Elear “responds well” to eq well, it does but therein lies the danger of clipping it to damage if one doesn’t pay extreme attention to all the controls over the full spectrum. It’s not just technology, there’s know-how and talent involved. It’s the transients, I don’t know how they manage to keep them so even. Only goes to show, I spent the night tweaking APO+Peace and had managed to convince myself I had nailed it damn near True-Fi but a few mins ago i reloaded True-Fi and dang them, it was about 3 times better than what I could achieve. More information on this $90 wonder box can be found in this Head-Fi discussion thread. OMG did that improve those cans! It is indescribable! You have to hear it to believe it. I was about to sell my HiFiMan HE-400i until I connected it to the E1DA and set the “EQ HE400i to Harman” preset. You’re in luck if you have Audeze, Sennheiser, or HiFiMan headphones. The E1DA has short-range bluetooth and you connect to it with your smartphone directly from the HPToy app instead of using the usual bluetooth connection manager of your smartphone. To access these features you download an app from Google Play or iOS app store called HPToy. The cool thing is the filters and parametric equalizer hidden within it. It connects to your computer via an old-style USB B cable, the kind you used to connect scanners and printers with back in the day. But it has no battery and it is power-thirsty. It is a device that is small, and looks like it should be portable. So your headphones need to be cabled for that. ![]() It is an all-in-one DAC/Amp with a 2.5" balanced output. ![]()
