Just took delivery of my single Gold phantom today. Based on my listening impressions in the first 2-3hrs versus my previous silvers, there's a dramatic improvement in clarity & projection from the mids & highs. The overall tonality is better balanced (full). Bass no longer feels like the main event. It sounds more like a full range floorstanding speaker. There's also more resolution I hear more details in the music & background. Not sure if that's from the upgraded DAC or Drivers (or both). The extra power tightened up the bass somewhat. My gf said music sounds more natural, less tiresome.
I noticed even after the first 2 hours it did open up some. Will share further impressions down the line.
