Firmware 12.3.0 + DOS 2.2.2

OK, I freely admit that the following should be taken with more than a pinch of salt, for many reasons including expectation bias etc, but I have to say after a couple of nights listening, the CI upgraded 250 sounds;

-a little more organic
-a bit smoother
-somehow a little more ‘real’
-playing at a higher volume for same perceived loudness

I have adjusted my main EQ that sits on top of my room Correction a fair bit, mostly sloping treble down further and increasing bass slightly (except below 30hz where Ive reduced). So this could in fact be part or all of the reason, but that said I’d played with similar EQ and still never got to this point pre CI.

Again, this could 100% be imagined, but that’s my latest observations - let’s see if they hold or might just need to be put down to wishful thinking.

Definitely trouble free too to my amazement.
