I did the upgrade from a 3x GT pre-2023 to the 2023. I also rolled in SP2 modules. What I can say is I think the amp technically sounds marginally better with improved resolution, speed, and an even lower noise floor. But after hours of listening do I like it better? Not really. It’s no more engaging than my first unit nor is it connecting me to the music in a more emotional way. I just sort of tip my cap to the technical improvements and golf clap. My original GT with mod’d op amps was very impressive. The new 2023 unit simply maintains that opinion.
I did subsequently buy a Woo WA22, which has taken my connection to music to a whole other level. So, ultimately my advice is avoid the temptation for marginal Burson improvements and go add a second amp to your collection that comes at the task of music reproduction from an entirely different angle. You might be very pleasantly surprised to have two pathways in your grasp vs a marginal upgrade.
