Compared to tidal I notice the bass sounds much worse on Apple Music, the highs are shrieking and the song sounds more convoluted. Has anyone else had this experience? Apple Music to me just doesn’t sound that great.

    we’re talking about wireless right? yeah give it less to do and not more. wireless signals are more stable with less to do… and you’re human like me so you don’t have the capability to hear anything outside of the 96db that 16/44.1 affords.

    like setting it to 16/44.1 is saying ok, i have this whole ocean to swim in, i’m good - then setting it to 24/anything is saying, yeah i had that ocean but… i wanted to push all the planets out the solar system and swim in the solar system… what? no… you don’t need that much space to hear music. you need 20hz to 20khz and that fits in 16/44.1 like a blanket. almost like it was made perfectly for listening to music in the first place :)

    so - set to that and find the most generic balanced mode for whatever dsp those have. probably called something latin and smooth like “optimusium” and - listen to your music. with that expensive of a headphone from BW it should literally sound perfect. without fiddling or worrying.

    i’ve got cheap BT stuff i set to LDAC and fugedabouitsperfect. i can’t imagine those are giving you this much grief unless the settings are way out of true.
