It's almost criminal how good an old pair of Grado SR80e and G-Cush Pads is sounding right now. Pad rolling=game changers in elevating HPs! May 9, 2023

      Maybe i'm going against the grain here. I just tried firmware on BF2 OG for NOS mode. Wow.."Soul" has been reinjected in bass country again!

        NOS just means the smoothing of the stepwise signal is happening downstream in the amplification, transducers, or air.. instead of digitally inside the DAC. Maybe you have better stuff downstream than others?

        @Woland not sure what happened, but all i know is that my ZMF Atticus has suddenly really come alive all of a sudden. I get what you're saying, im no stranger to NOS and R2R dac sounds. This is surprising for me, but the bass is really stronger like a surge in this region now. Going to see if on a SS and Planar will be same or not. Will probably post findings on the Bifrost thread soon.

        Most things in audio measurements have weak correlation to what sounds good. Enjoy. It is very common to trade 'precision' to 'soul' or 'musicality' and the other way around as well.

        Totally agree. I just mentioned that in another forum that at the core the Piety is awesome, but still a Magni at the core. At that point, better to buy a next level amp.

    Middle aged guy who loves music. Former amateur musician that played various stringed instruments (violins/guitars/pianos) but no longer can due to age and unfortunate limitations, so doing the next best thing and listening to music in the best way I can. Likes all music. Entertains philosophy, tech, gaming, food, movies, comedy, even politics and anything else remotely entertaining or interesting. Got kids, dogs, bills, problems and booze...you know 99 problems but a b**** ain't one. Not in any particular order of interests or issues. Loves to give zero fox at work or in life at-large when it comes to idiots, ignorance, and a**holes. Though I ponder the real mysteries and questions in life. For example...What does the fox say? ::

    "Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
    Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
    Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!"
