dragon.
for years i chased my tail on monitors.
big studio ones , expensive ones, cheap ones etc etc.
till i realised i was chasing my tail n no perfect solution existed.
my degrees in physics n audio physics is a nasty god to worship.

but we do it anyways. cos whatever one buys often the audio physics god slaps one face
with another problem. we are masochists enslaved to this cruel god..lol.
heck i think once if i remember audio engrs once used in some studios in a bygone
era voice of the theater speakers to mix on in conjunction with baby speakers.
supposedly in a technical sense VOTtheater spkrs werent ideal in a technical sense but it didnt stop people selling records.

today, same deal...people still go to bed at night loosing sleep on the "right monitors"
and now also "the right convertors".
once again on the convertors issue, i think..like the monitors...
one chases ones tail and there is no perfect solution.
the god of audio physics laughing at us again.
and our technology.
the problem also is the bloke listening back to your beautifull song done with elite monitors n speakers prolly isnt useing the same elite set up and is prolly useing computer spkrs or junk.
mebe other audio engrs will appreciate your pristine quality but thats not the normal consumer buying your songs.
only a few consumers can afford to spend 5k on great playback systems.

in summary possibly your current sound device is good enough. dunno.
imho there will never be a resolution.
n we will all be back 10 years hence n i bet there will still be not a resolution to these problems...
cos the god of audio physics wont let there be.
he likes to taunt our puny attempts at finding the perfect solution...lol.
just my 2cents,.
