I'm considering these both headphones for my 1st pair of hifi headphone, I'm heavily leaning toward Kithara for the value. But i don't want to miss out on the sound of the XV because of FOMO. Can I EQ the Kithara to match like 95% of the Hifiman Edition XV?

My open-back headphones and KEF LSX II LT sound quality is suffering because my desk fan is too too loud. I have severe hyperhidrosis so I must always have the desk fan on pointed at my hands, or else my keyboard would drown in sweat. The fan I'm using is too loud and it masks a lot of the small details of my open-back headphones and my desktop speakers. I'm looking for a desk fan quiet enough so it won't interfere with my sound system.
My setup is PC with KEF LSX II. My Asrock motherboard is very noisy, I've tried many things but ultimately the only solution seems to be optical connection, which my motherboard lacks. I've found a few USB to Optical adapters, and I would like your opinions on which one to get.
