You can really just cut a bit of 5.8 kHz and you’ll basically be there, afaik. Try cutting 3-4 dB with a Q of 3 and see what you think.

DMS did this and concluded he preferred the original version. I’m waiting for him to send it to me but I already thought the original had a bit much treble for me, so more was not needed 😃
That said, I agree people should focus on their listening enjoyment.

I did over 20 trials in an A/B blind test, with a 5.8kHz -3dB Q3 filter and found that I actually preferred the revised version significantly more, with it making out 76% of my preferred picks. So I definitely agree that people should focus on listening enjoyment instead of blind cancelling or returning their units.

Hi,
I have the regular Mega5Est, and out of curiosity I am wondering if it is possible to EQ this into what is the revised version they ran for a short while. I would like to save it as an EQ profile. I’m seeing the frequencies mentioned in this thread, but I don’t really know how I should EQ if I want to do the opposite of an EQ… does anyone know what I should set?
Do I set my 5.8khz to +3-4dB at Q3 then? Or how would this work.
Thanks in advance.

What is the difference between Mega5EST and Mega5EST Bass? I keep seeing reviews for the latter, but don’t see them listed for sale anywhere online. Are these a phantom or am I looking in the wrong place?

7th anniversary edition with “OG tuning” owner here. It is not the “bass” edition, at least by default. Check the head-fi thread, it may shed some light on the weird marketing games of Hisenior.

Does anyone know whether the Crinacle measured sample is an OG tuning or not, by any chance?

Nope, it was the newly-revised tuning with more 5 kHz energy.

Oh, I see. Thank you so very much! 🙏🏻
I guess I could have went for these with this knowledge. If only I thought of asking about this here a bit sooner.
Though I saw a post on Head-Fo claiming that the silent retune version was also discontinued in favour of returning to the OG tuning.
This is so terribly confusing! What an awful practice this silent tuning change is.
