I would refer you the Larry Greenhill review in Stereophile as my experience is fairly similar. Previously I was listening to my SACD via my Oppo 105 in 2 channel . Compared to the Oppo the dynamic range and soundstage have both noticeably increased. The midrange in particular is superbly natural. I was listening to Ralph Vaughn Williams 8 th Symphony-a Chandos SACD with Richard Hickok conducting the London Symphony-and I had a "you are there" moment during the slow movement-everything was so beautiful and natural.
There is a lot more detail, but not in a clinical, x Ray kind of manner. When I go a live Concert, I am always struck by how much more Orchestral detail I detect on works that I thought I knew cold. There are always details of percussion and subsidiary themes from the other instruments that even the best playback and recordings obscure. With the Bryston it's all there, but not unnaturally highlighted
