Thats great to hear Mike! its nice to know we can find landings to relax and enjoy for lengths of time as we slowly climb this crazy mountain. Sounds like the Trinity might be as good as those initial reviews suggested.
I tried a few of the upsampling and filter settings. Upsample 3 doesn't work (I think its a test sample that needs to be removed from what I was told). Upsample 2 and 1 are subtle but 2 seams to highlight the low frequency punch a bit more and widen the soundstage a bit. I haven't decided overall if I like upsmapling on or off yet, but it definitely gives a perception of accuracy over turning it off…
The filters were way more dramatic. On a quick listen (had to run to work) the 32x seams to romanticize things a bit compared to the 16x which seams to be more neutral. the 16x also highlighting trailing edges more giving each instrument more life and character. The Lanczos filter sorta freaked me out a bit… It gave me detailed and highlighted little ancillary sounds that I had never ever heard before. Clicks of a stick on a drum and taps of a stick on a high hat; fingers actually plucking strings. I swear I heard someone sigh at one point in the recording. The 16x did this as well but it was more uniformly integrated into the music. The Lanczos actually highlighted those ancillary sounds to almost a distracting level. On initial attempt, I prefer the 16x. I didn't try the minimum phase setting yet. next time...
