Well after spending much of the evening listening to music all I can say is what a fantastic purchase. Highly recommended.
Kick drums have more solidity/texture to them. The soundstage is more open. Longer decays and more bloom in the midrange. There is almost a complete absence of leading edge in that unnatural way. It's easier to turn the music up louder and there is no fatigue. Of course these things are difficult to put into words without resorting to all the usual audiophile clichés (which I generally hate reading in other people's reviews).
Some of my best recordings are just jaw dropping now. And the ones that were a little challenging in parts are so much better now.
Tomorrow I will have some fun with Qobuz streaming.
Blows my Paul Pang with posh LPS out of the water.
