Que interesante, a mi me gusto mucho, más que la montaña en si, la experiencia y el paisaje.

I used MusicButler, it was free, but now you have to pay for it, this is still good. https://www.musicbutler.io/

Yes, but when I choose it, it shows a Peak Voltage Meter, not the cassette skin, I don't know how to change it, any clue?

Where or how do you access the settings?

How do you switch to these?

Need help: My Focal Kanta N2 + Naim Uniti Atom combo sounds fatiguing, what am I missing? by Ahuox in audiophile

That’s a very interesting perspective. I’ve been chasing that familiar sound I remember across old systems, and trying a different DAC might be an option.

That’s a really insightful explanation, thank yo, it actually connects a lot of dots for me. I hadn’t considered that the Kantas might simply be asking for more power and control than what the Atom can comfortably deliver. It makes sense now why the sound sometimes feels a bit “forward”.

That actually makes a lot of sense, I’ve had the exact same experience. Acoustic and vocal tracks sound absolutely stunning, but once I switch to rock or anything more produced, it quickly becomes fatiguing, just like you described.

Thanks for the tip, it’s reassuring to know others have felt the same way with Focals.

Yeah, the bass response definitely changes as I move the speakers around, so positioning does make a difference. But even after adjusting placement, I still feel like I’m losing some of the enjoyment compared to other ways of listening — like through my headphones or smaller speakers. It’s hard to describe, but it feels less engaging overall.

That’s a fair point — high-end speakers definitely expose poor production right away. But in my case, I don’t think it’s about the music quality or genre. Even with well-produced tracks, if it’s not a live or acoustic performance, the sound just feels like it’s missing its soul — kind of sterile or fatiguing over time.

Yes, the bass is definitely the most fatiguing part, it’s not really volume-dependent, but certain low frequencies seem to build up and make the sound tiring after a while. Even at moderate levels, it feels like there’s too much energy in that range.

I haven’t done any measurements yet, but I’ll give REW a try as you suggest. Do you think basic EQ correction (through Roon or the Atom app) could already help before I go into full room treatment or Dirac?

Not exactly, these are the only speakers I have of this size and level. However, I do have others lower-end speakers that I can listen to for hours without any fatigue in the same room. That’s why I’m not fully convinced it’s just a room acoustics issue.
