Reply to comment by verifitting in Comparison question: Modi+ vs Topping DACs by entivoo

The FiiO K5 Pro certainly doesn't sound as sharp with this headphone even though they are both the same sigma delta type of DAC. I am sure it is not the headphone this time.

The treble response used to be even sharper when I paired the E50 with L50. Now I have switched to a supposedly neutral amplifier marketed for professional use, the Lake People G111 MKII and it subdues the peaks quite nicely. It used to sound so shouty even when I am just listening to dialogues from game or movies.

Again. Like the others also say. If you have piercing headphones, don't keep buying dacs, amps. Literally, use EQ or get other headphones. You are doing this totally ass-backwards.

Yeah headphones are of course the first thing you should consider changing normally since they give the most significant changes. I guess I just have an unhealthy attachment to this particular headphone. LoL
