I'm an outsider on this particular forum but a search on Google led nowhere useful. So here is the question for you experts. When using my Sennheiser HD650s with my DragonFly Red DAC, I find the sound somewhat restricted in range at the top. Being an oldie "top" means anything over 3 or 4kHz. I thought to investigate the availability of EQ software that will process the signal on my PC before the USB feed to the DragonFly. Is there any such software? Any thoughts?
I would refer inmates to my System listing to see what I usually listen too. Quad 2905s etc. are quite decent kit - I believe better than my Sennheisers. They do not seem to lack treble.

that they make an amp-attached version of their Loki tone control for use with, say, an Ant-Lion Mic and the phones of buyer's choice -- a quality hearing aid for old guys. Unfortunately, no reply.
Maybe it wouldn't have worked . . . .

Thanks all this is useful information.

Several models of Sony noise cancelling headphones can be EQ'd using a phone app.

There are applications like the one linked that provide custom EQ for given headphone models including the HD650.
Of course for people of our age there is also the consideration of presbycusis which would certainly exaggerate any feeling of treble loss beyond that native to the cans themselves and for which you may desire additional EQ to compensate.

There are a number of free or inexpensive programs that will EQ what comes out of your computer through the USB output. Here's a demonstration of the process, which seems to be as much a matter of personal preference as related to measurements.
I've never bothered to explore the process because I'm not using a computer as the source for my audio files.
I have 650's and indeed the highs ..and lows are rolled off. The mids are very good however. Pertaining to EQ... I have a Sony Walkman that the owner is able to adjust eq...they also have something called ClearAudio +....which does real magic to the results. I don't know how that is accomplished, but Sony certainly does.
