This allows superior start-stop-start of the music ... thus the overall clarity improves.
Similarly - the upper treble also appeared to be more extended .. that on my speakers benefited to portray better 3-dimensionality along with wider & deeper sound-staging .. scale also improves ..
Its still very new and need to listen more to fully understand its overall effect ...
All-in-all, its a likeable improvement so far ... but am having a bit of an issue with Devialet AIR 3.0 beta & Ethernet on Audirvana that was otherwise all good prior to the FW update.
The update is looking very good indeed ... sound quality has taken a big leap BUT Audirvana is skipping continuous streaming on & off ...
Now - how the hell does one resolve this ??
If AIR is using 'hog mode/exclusive mode' as suggested in Quentin Sannies's recent post then I would think you will need to change the corresponding parameters in Audirvana so they don't conflict. I don't think they can both be in 'exclusive' mode
