The bass is too controlled with 10.0.2 for me. A lot of the warmth in the lows and mids are gone.
Airiness and brightness of 10.0.2 seem fine though, maybe a bit brighter I would say (which I don't need). Have to A/B that a bit more.
But a big no on the bass / warmth of the low & mids for me, that's for sure.
Don't like the new display either. The circle of dots when loading is replaced by a horizontal bar that fills up.
Also the 200 of the model has a much smaller font now and feels tiny.
The circle of dots that represent the volume is made of more dots now.
All feels less designed like it did before.
I'm back on 7.1.3!
Interesting comments Cylob. Can you explain what you mean by bass being 'too controlled'? In the context you have written this, it is clearly a negative for you, but 'too controlled' sounds like a positive to me! How can you have too much control of the bass? I know that describing listening experiences in words is incredibly difficult to do (I'm rubbish at it!), I am just trying to understand this one.
