Teething troubles with 120

[baddog]

So our systems are different and I am sure the rooms, setup and ears are different too.

I have D400s. G3s for speakers. I sit about nine feet from speakers. They are around eight feet apart.

Room is around 14' wide by 23' deep by 9' high. Opening in another room in back.

I have both high resolution and/or DSD versions of most of the Dire Straits albums and several of Mark K's solo efforts.

I would describe his voice as deep and resonant. No feeling of being veiled or in the distant background.

Do you find this effect with other artists as well? Ok, I see you have mentioned that is the case.

I have previously had tube amps, tube preamps, MSB Analog DAC, with Devore O/96 speakers, and similar sound characteristics to his voice.

This is from playing back music stored on a NAS, currently on AIR 3 via either Windows or Mac. But this was also true when I had a Mac Mini connected via USB into the D400.

I know that doesn't solve your problem. Just a data point.

I might try reversing one of the speaker cables anyway, just to hear how the sound changes.

All the tone controls on the Devialet in the default position?

Odd instruments would sound fine, but an issue with voices. Hmmm...
