Before (Chang) 15:42
After (Audience) 18:11
The Audience had better separation between the 2 horns & the timber was more realistic.
The drum hit sounds better defined. The bass was better integrated as well & the highs are smoother. I really didn't have the volume up enough (always sounds louder in person) to really show off the dynamics of the Audience aR6.
Notes:
1.) Even though the outlets have low-medium-high filters, I found that my MacBooks power supply sounded best on the "low or amp" section and not digital. Likewise switching the modem/router to the medium plug sounded better than on the digital plug. However moving my DDC off the digital and to the medium sounded stringent & bright, back to the digital and smooth! I did leave the amp on the suggested amp plug. I suggest trying the different plugs yourself and pick the filter most pleasing with your connected equipment.
2.) Make sure to give this thing about 500hrs of break in & you will be rewarded for your patience! (It got smoother on the top end).
3.) Tidal dropouts have gone done by 75% since testing over multiple days! Although not gone completely, it's a huge improvement.
✨streaming sounds better now too.
