I usually listen to music on my desktop PC, but today I decided to bring my Truthear Shio and M60x to the office as most of my colleagues were on a work trip. After hooking everything up to my laptop and pressing play, I very quickly noticed the treble was harsher than what I was used to.

Upon getting home, I did some (non-blind) testing and the difference in treble was certainly there.

  • Music source: Tidal (FLAC)
  • DAC: Truthear Shio
  • Headphones: M60x, DT990

This outcome doesn’t make sense to me; surely the data coming out of the USB-C ports of my desktop PC and my work laptop should be the same. Has anyone encountered something similar?

    I had similar issue with porta pro and it turned out to be an EQ thing. Try plugging your setup into another computer or a phone and see if it’s any different
