Is there anyone out there who wants to come back on his initial impressions ? I mean, I don't for over 6 weeks now, but this should count for everyone. If it is good it is good, and I can continue on it. I never perceived .......
Hi Peter,
......here some remarks about 09y-4. I'm listening via fronthorns. The sound is very direct and a lot of detaills. From the start of using 09y4 with the Quad Arc Prediction Upsampling I have the impression some tones/instruments are to much in front of the ears. Sometimes i have the impression that i hear a sort of resonance in instruments like trompet, vibraphone. When I switch off the quad Arc Pre the sound improves in a more relaxed sound. Less in front and no resonating sound in some instruments. I can't remember that I had the same experience in older versions of XX. I listen today to Mike Mainieri's (vibraphonist) An American Diary (great work!).
I do hear the qualities of the latest version of XX, detaills, a lot of space, quality of instruments........but I get a preference the last days to switch off double/quad Arc Prediction option.
