Well you can add a +1 on better "top end" from me.
Just wrote this in another topic (http://devialetchat.com/showthread.php?t...7#pid55027):
I think Damon is right about the digital edge he hears being because of something in his system. The Sonos he uses as a source for example is not really the best out there. I myself would surely not attribute it to the Pro in general and if one could say anything I think it would be that the Pro is incredibly transparant. To me and in my system at least it is; in a a different topic I already wrote: the Pro is more clean, detailed and transparent (in the good way) in the upper mids and highs while at the same time sounding more fluid, refined and musical. In short it's more class A and analog sounding, less digital. No digital edge or brightness, rather the opposite it's rich and perhaps a tad warm sounding.
My more complete initial impressions (which still apply now) on the Pro are here: http://devialetchat.com/showthread.php?t...7#pid52947
As always both positive and negative bias can apply. People will find whatever arguments for doing or not doing the upgrade.
