I then bought a RCA-AES/EBU adaptor and linked the two Ds with the adaptor and Crystal cable. I noticed a deepening and widening of the soundstage and more definition of instruments. This was not a subtle difference that you really had to listen for, but an easily discernible improvement.
The sound seems pretty good with a better stereo image .. ? have you noticed that ? I thought the stereo image was better only due a perfect speakers position ?
Many details appear in the music. Just to say but I believe it is a major gap.
But I want to test again the crystal.
How did you manage to compare with and without it ? I mean you have to save each configurations on different SD CARDS to switch quickly between a crystal and a RCA/XLR listening ?
