0/0/0/0 is more honest sound than 30/30/0/0 (but less allows your room to play a role <-  grazy)

How would this work if using headphones? My normal setup is indeed with amp & speakers, but I'm just curious...

Interesting... did you try +4/0/0/0/0?

No, I didn't... but I will. I suppose my logic here was to take the current 'gold standard' (to take a phrase you first used) and compare it to the settings I've been happy with for the past few months, i.e. +4/30/30/0/0 vs. -4/0/0/0/0.

Incidentally, you'll see a change in my signature from tomorrow onwards which I'm VERY excited about - I am about to become the proud owner of a Pacific Microsonics Model 2 AD/DA... Hopefully, this will help further to evaluate the various Q settings.
