Updated to FW 10.0.2 last night and my 1st impressions after a 1-hr short audition is that the LF is now much tighter & controlled with better PRAT that also addresses the entire bass & mid-bass. 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.
