New 2020 Expert firmware. What differences do you hear?
#1
Now that all Expert users here started breathing again, I am curious what you can hear when playing music with the new software. What differences are striking and what is roughly the same?

Personally I hear more dynamics, better definition, everything sounds ‘clearer’ by lack of a better word.

It sounded fine before and still does. No noticeable improvement.

All I need now is an omnidirectional usb microphone.

I hear better definition and a deeper and wider soundstage. This has been consistent since the upgrade.

I hear a deeper and wider soundstage too. To me it sounds the best since I first bought a 200 then upgraded to 440 PRO CI till now. FYI I did upgrade to the latest firmware but did not re-do the configuration. Everything looks normal to me. And note that I only listen to the vinyl using Vivid V1.5 (SAM).
