Oratory1990’s FAQ on Reddit roughly answers the question on the difference between the AutoEQ EQ (that was imported into OPRA from AutoEQ) and the newer Harmon Target (which was added to OPRA by hand from Oratory1990’s Reddit page):

How is this list different to the github / AutoEQ?

The “Github-page” (AutoEq/results/oratory1990 at master · jaakkopasanen/AutoEq · GitHub ?) is created and maintained by u/jaakkopasanen. It’s his thing, has very little to do with me, actually.

  • What Jaakko does is he takes measurements from various sources and applies his algorithm that automatically creates an EQ for that headphone (hence the name “AutoEQ”).
    The measurements that I make are among those sources.
  • What I do is I make measurements myself, on an industry-standard measurement rig (I’m an acoustic engineer, and I make these headphone measurements in my spare time).
    I create the EQ not solely based on the measurement, but I also listen to the headphones and fine-tune the settings by ear.

Which approach is better?
Well that depends on who you ask. Of course if you ask me, then Im going to say that my way is better.
If you ask Jaakko, he’ll probably say his way is better :slight_smile:

In the end our results won’t differ all that much (the numbers might be different, but the final result when they’re all added up won’t differ too much).

Which approach is better?

To my ear, Oratory1990’s approach gives better results.
