FW 10.0.5 is out... what's new?

[Cylob]

First of all...7.1.3 is louder than other firmwares. I think that 7.1.3 is also much more analogue sounding that the rest of firmwares. Warmer, nicer, more mids and more relax in sound. When You prefer musicality more than ,,hearing details" 7.1.3 is the best one.

Well, after a long listening session with 10.0.5, I was first very happy to ear and feel details on wooden instruments (the feeling to almost "see" the reed vibrating, hearing the air flow...). Then I started to listen various music styles ...a lot of fun during 3hours, but ... I begun to feel a king of discomfort (fatigue ? is it a good word in english ?). For sure it's the first time I have the opportunity to listen such a long time the v10...

Guess what I switched back to 7.1.3 and could go on, listening again with less discomfort, for sure I think I'm bit tired...

So I agree with your statement moreno1973, but I would also add that the accuracy, stability and size of the sound-stage is leaning towards the v10 for me.

I would like a mix between v7.1.3 and v10.0.5, too bad the v8.5.9 does not exist
For short listening sessions, low level, I would prefer the v10, so I will listen for hours and at high volume the v7 and see what happens.

Then you might wanna try 8.1.3!
That version is great as well. A tiny bit brighter then 7.1.3 but still has a much more analog, warm and harmonic feel to it then 10.0.x or 9.x.x.
But maybe best to stick with 7.1.3 for a while and get used to the sound even more. Then try another firmware.
