I have received and been using mine but the results seem to yield a bit of an overemphasised drop off after maybe 2kHz. Maybe someone who has been doing this a bit longer can say something regarding my results.

I have no idea how to attach something, any chance of some help ahah.

Oh right. Like CT says, if your UERM is rolled off up top you are likely using some crappy player like the Pono with high output impedance messing up the crossover and FR. There is something of a fix for that if you are married to your current player. Let me know and I'll point you in the right direction.

Don't think you will find what you're looking for in an all-in-one unit like the DAC1, that sounds good. Find an amp with pre-outs for monitors. Mjolnir 2 + Multibit Gugnir? Other pyrates have to chime in if that'll work well for UERMs.

Thanks - Gungnir Multibit and Mjolnir doesn't seem like a bad idea although it's at the very top of my price range (and shipping is expensive!)

As I mentioned, I had a Benchmark DAC2 which seemed fine (although I didn't really have anything to compare it with). But I thought there should be something cheaper (and that sounds better) that would suit UERMs.

If I forget about the pre-outs, is there an alternative to the Geek Out v2 that also has optical and coax inputs? Are any of the other Geek products rated on here (eg the Pulse)? I don't see it on purrin's chart.

I was actually referring to results of my measurements on the Vibro Veritas. The Vertias shows a drop after 2khz in all its measurements. In the right character but just a few dB down what other results seem to be so not inaccurate in curve but more so in quantity.

My UERMs themselves sound fine and as they should and I have enough sources to find good matches and bad ones, including in my usage is the fave round here in a Leckerton which as you know gets them sounding pretty mean. Especially with something like the AK380 as a source.
