I am wondering, has anyone tried the Realizer with Sony Qualia?
The Qualia are often said to have slightly bright midrange, and need to be adjusted to the head size of a person in order to sound best. Given the Realizer, on some extent, can also work as a 'natural' equalizer, couldn't the combination be just exceptional? Has anyone tried something like that?

I have the A8 & Qualia but have no chance to try the combo yet.  The Qualia doesn't have a bright midrange but the overall tonality is on the bright side of neutral.  It works exceptionally well in balanced mode with my Gilmore Reference Balanced (GS-X).  I don't think the built-in headphones amp on the A8 is that great.
