Cold sound

[TDA]

I will try and switch of DPM

But I will not buy new speakers because of this. Dev should run the speakers properly and shouldn't sound like this.

That for sure.

I agree with you TDA. The 200 (and now 400) should absolutely work well with your speakers. If the sound is thin/aggressive it may be due to lack of break-in, but one can not rule our digital clipping, either as too high level or as inter-sample clipping. I've experienced this and was able to fix it by adding attenuation to the convolution config (JRiver or Brutefir). One way to test this is using an analog source to the line input of your D, making sure the analog input level does not produce clipping. There is a sensitivity setting for the line input in Configurator.

thanks for answer. i don't have any gear that i can connect analog right now.

My TV is connected via optical. sounds very bad on TV. With both tv and movies.

my simaudio moon 180 mind is connected via AES/EBU digital cable. The cable is new and so is the mind and amp. so maybe it is break-in. i sure hope so.

i am not a completely newbie to this game. So i know that things need to break in. But i have not heard of electronics that could gain so much of break in. I have heard speakers that have evolved very drasticly to the better over time.

I sure hope that i will be laughing about this in a couple of months.. but right now i am very frustrated. I have bought 3 big acoustic paintings which covers all the walls next and back of me. So acoustics should not be THAT big of a deal. Acoustics in my room is very bad, but it was that before these amps. you must know that i only changed the amp right now.. before was an old amp to  1/10 of the price... and it sounded better than this.
