I have gone all upgrades from original silver, to the first golds and finally to my current golds from 2021. The best sound has always been the Dos1 original full HD Golds, I was stupid to upgrade mine. History now. So the new ones; they sound great. Tighter, detailed, more air, more relaxed, much less darkness, much less boom bass. Simply much more high-end I guess. I have noted I listen less to acoustic music with my current setup and more to electronic music. It simply fits better. But that might change with the new ones. They sounded much more detailed and strict in a sense. Very lively and more sparkling. A rather big change I would say. But they always take time to settle and these are new out of the box. I think they will get a bit meatier with a few weeks of playing. Delivery starts in a month. I will get mine before Christmas.
Thanks for your impressions.
At the end of the day, one can read everything, but it won’t matter, until one itself listens. But, one take away from your comment about “more relaxed”… maybe that’s due to the absence of the titanium tweeter. Just a guess. I remember, when I first demoed them 10 years ago, I couldn’t get used to the highs, during the demo. They kind of got on my nerves. I remember just moving the position of my head around. I just wasn’t happy with the highs, during the demo, 10 years ago.
Then again, my hearing is more sensitive than others.
