0:53 wow that design is both organic and classic looking, reminiscent of some high end speakers. I love they decided with the perlescent finish, white shells are a huge welcome.
The finish was a surprise as everyone knew it was white, but it doesn't show up easily in pictures. Then you pull it out of the box and realize its better than the pictures.
Kinda what I mentioned on the bass control, imo jazz more so than acoustic, requires more balance, doesn't sound right with Harman subbass dominant sometimes. Acoustic is fine, that is where you see they added that bit of midbass for a more organic sound, touch of warmth.
No daps, I use Foobar 2000 on my PC. The values are literally slider values. It is meant a general guide, if you have a dap with EQ, do slight changes in those areas.
I saw on your squig that measurements for the titan s2 seem to measure similarly. Id be super curious if you feel like things related to fit, driver techs, or even those minor fr changes make this one worth it.
Part of Alba is you are paying for the build, part is it is tuned better. Small changes, small improvements is what the hobby is about. That is why I EQ. Titan S2 is closer to how I would describe Harman, too much subbass, too much upper mids. Fix those two, and it gets closer. Both sets are priced right though. But if you like more bass than bass control, then Titan is better.
A 1DD, even a nice one, won't resolve better than a hybrid like SM4. If you don't care about that, Alba is the safer choice. A bit less Harman sounding.
This hobby is about spending a lot of small improvements. With Alba, you are buying the shell design, finish, Meze name. If those aren't a priority, enjoy Delci, its a great set.
tough one, they are different. Nuo is great unless you are sensitive to upper treble. Trio is more like other popular sets and the switches will give a couple bass options.
Ask Tony/Akros. I never heard Origin, but looking at the graph, I'd take Alba for the reason I said, Alba is almost 2db lower in ear gain area. Origin bass shelf is right on though, it didn't need that much ear gain
