Playing this album through the d1 server:
I've left the music playing constantly since last night and I could swear that the sound has improved! There is a sweetness to the vocals and the soundstage just feels so expansive and full-bodied... there are some extra layers in there too. The separation between vocals and instruments is so good, it's very easy to follow individual strands of music. It used to sound a bit muddied before on some of the tracks. Don't get me wrong it always sounded good... but just not this good!
Or maybe I'd just forgotten how good the d1 server was!
It's going to be very very hard disconnecting it and replacing it with the ARIES for a few days.
