Obviously you liked the 440Pro or you would not have booked the upgrade.Any observations on the sound?
I'm really not good in the description of my totally subjective sound impressions. Even only a couple hours powered on, the d440pro was sounding (we made AB test with a pair of Magico s5 mk2) mor homogenous without loosing the details of a huge soundstage. I liked it better especially with female voices or small choirs giving them a more intimate sound. Overall (both on ver.10). Hade the feeling I could listen to complex contemporary classically music much longer without getting stressed.
