Foubarre

Main reason I bought the Fives is having decent sounding music on my TV with the simplicity of HDMI arc, buying an extra DAC & EQ defeats the purpose for me. I got bass-cut mode to work so I'll stick with that for now even though it doesn't completely remove the "pillow effect" you mentioned I'm very happy to hear that Klipsch told you the EQ app is still planned though, I had given up on it! Also streaming music with a chromecast audio puck I was surprised it sounded slightly better to me using the analog output than the digital optical one. I should try to plug my dragonfly red DAC some day to check how much better it can get.
