Yes, still on W8, still waiting to install R2 on CF!sbgk wrote:the latest 8 + 0 is an even greater step up in staging and detail, I'm surprised myself at how much detail there is now, maybe not the finished article, but getting there.sima66 wrote:I guess that Gordon's "quiet time" was worth it! ;-)
Till now 80% of the time I listened with 2.71 Intel raw and 20% with 1024 sw, depending on the recordings.
Most of the times the versions are just "different" then better, that's why we come up with different opinions.
This time, it's the biggest step forward! It was never easier for me to chose. It's 2.71 Intel Time 1 and after that five empty spaces.....nothing close!
It's so controlled and clean, the separation like never before, 3D more pronounced, the details..........simply put I LOVE IT!!!
It does not play 16/44 (only Hi-Rez). I don't know if is the same "mistake" like with the first 1024's, but even like this I'm happy (did I already said that?!).
Thanks again Sbgk and welcome back.
are you on 8.1 ? that might be the issue if you are still on win 8
8+0 I will define in this way: "Extremely clean, detailed DIGITAL sound"! Needs a bit more body. In my opinion is more clean and less harsh than Time 1, but also more digital, can't listen to long.
Again, this is just my opinion.
