Here's a good article from TAS http://www.theabsolutesound.com/article ... rformance/ . especially the correlation between apparent performer height with sound quality.

Agree, the quality is phenomenal.
A magnificent 'in the room' experience.

Well done Gordon!!

Have not listened to vocal music yet and certainly not to female vocals (which I don't do very often).

Sibilancy can also be part of the recording, so you should be clear about this that the recording is OK.
Otherwise you might start downgrading the sound quality of the playback in order to get rid of the sibilancy in the recording.

Cheers

Ah you found it my favourite music player. I have been using this for years now.Serious listening has always been with this one. Normally I take some vitamin C just beforehand to get me in the mood

Do you want to say, it is better than MQn...if you're using it for serious listening?
