Hi all
I've now got my 120 working nicely with my melco n1, and I'm currently playing around with my Atohm GT1s and my Wilson Benesch Discoverys.
However....!
I've noticed that in my opinion voices seem a bit distant and muffled. Tonight I was listening to some Dire Straits, and his voice just wasn't really present. Slightly far away and as if he's singing behind a curtain or something.
This is with both speakers! And with SAM off or on! The instruments are beautiful and extremely crisp and clear but voices just sound wrong. I've listened using Spotify through my Chromecast audio into line in (just as an experiment) and it sounds the same.
As a last test I just listened to the track via some good headphones on my iPhone as, as I thought, it actually sounded clearer and more present.
Having been a big Naim owner over the years I'm very used to forward presentation and was expecting something similar with the devialet but I'm concerned I've got something set up wrongly.
Any suggestions would be appreciated as I'm not enjoying it as much as I'd hoped...!
Thanks.
Steve
