Epitome keeps the low end relatively linear, and it has a noticeable presence lift through the upper mid / lower treble region, but they spent a lot of time refining the severity of these decisions. I think they were quite careful when increasing certain frequency groups and didn’t proceed until they found the happy medium. I believe this explains why it sounds clean, open, and honest, while also explaining why it does not feel brittle or sharp, too forward. I genuinely believe that iBasso spent a long time fine-tuning the midrange to find this golden ratio.
