what do all ya'll think about using the schiit Lokius 6-Band Balanced Tone Control


in between my SCHIIT MAGNIUS an my Drop + Grace Design Standard DAC Balanced

an disabling all eq control in my linux /pop os pc for direct output using only the basic pipewire audio drivers

as both easy effects an pulseeffects have not been the easiest or the best for use for me

has anyone used this stax combo yet dac/eq/amp an what are your impressions ,

my cans are the monolith m570 thow im planning on upgrading to the monolith m1070 unless someones got a really good closed back with near same specs an price

That's a lot to digest. Something one is going to have to try for themselves. Your personal EQ being the elephant in the equation.

Buy with the ability to return, is all I can offer.

There’s a good review of the Lokius on audiosciencereview.com. Spoiler: Amir wasn’t too impressed with it.
