I don't know, but I did experiment, by calibrating with the SPL Meter about where my ear would be inside each of my K701s, and the SPL to my ears seems remarkably close now! Also, I normally A/B with a commercial CD Player with very good DAs that goes right into my monitoring system, direct, bypassing the computer. I am calibrating it's output with pink noise, so that I have an instant relative feel for CDs I am A/Bing with even without my RME's built in metering.
I was listening to some old stuff through the PC earlier while doing paperwork...so interesting...the DIGICheck mete on my FF800 showed an Allman Bros. tune (
Melissa ) right there at K-14, and then a tune from Andy McKee...
Art of Motion ...uh...who ever mastered it hit +5dB RMS at K-14, and squished Andy's beautiful guitar to an average of 5dB dynamic range, producing a 92dB average SPL at listening position with monitors calibrated for K-14!!! AHHHHHH my ears!!!! THis is a friggin' acoustic guitar recording!!! ...LOL...
