In your opinion, which dap has the best low frequency extension, sp2k or sp3k? I’m talking about how low the bass can go, not about the quantity of it.

DAR doesn’t have as deep bass and refined treble as standard playback does

This is gonna be another bad harsh sounding dap like 2000t,these models will never sound good like a flagship unit , they are tuning them to be inferior sounding and I had the sp2000t. I preferred the sa700. Now I have sp3000 and I am happy.

It turns out changing language of the device changes the sound, try this with Japanese.

Edit: I’m actually going to stop posting here altogether, what’s the point if I have to be ridiculed every time I post my impressions by people who think dac filters sound all the same? You’re a bunch of amateurs!

I don’t think you can do that unfortunately

Do I have to go through burn-in process again if I start using the balanced section for the first time after more than a year of unbalanced use?

Of course, this goes without saying for me. Also, no dar, no eq, no crossfeed, in my case 3.5mm unbalanced output. Anyways, let me just say one final thing and I’ll stop posting for awhile. I’m no casual listener, I am very obsessed by the tiny details of sound reproduction, i am also a sound...

Within a tolerable spectrum they might go unnoticed

Exactly this! It’s unintentional. The fact that the sound keeps improving, means it is strictly related to system stabilization. as the machine performs better, the processes are more efficient, then it must also produce a better sound. A neat trick I recently discovered is to convert any 24bit...

Regarding width soundstage, to me it is very slightly less expansive from left to right, but at the same time the sound has gained substance, it was wide because it was stretched like a transparent film, kinda thin if you ask me. I really like the new sound, it is quite impressive and the bass...

The brain is informed through the sense of hearing, I could be burned alive at the stake and still uphold that every fw updates sound different.

I agree with the less width of the soundstage
