i agree. it was my unit reviewed on asr. i also now have a burned in khadas tone board at home. side by side i much prefer the codex. it just sounds more real. maybe not the same depth of bass and detail but everything has real meat and bones on the body. the khadas sounds like frequencies or harmonics are missing.
either the sounds of ‘distortion’ makes it sound more real or we don’t yet know what to measure to show why something sounds more real. i’m tending toward the latter even though i want to follow measurements as an engineer oriented person. i’m not so sure we know what to measure and it bothers me a little that a lot of people on asr are militantly sure that they do and the rest of us are just delusional. why people have to be so rigid and pick absolute sides i’ll never grasp. feels a bit desperate trying to convince themselves of something...
that said i like the site and appreciate the measurements they produce, i just wish they continued the search for new knowledge and new understanding vs dismissing subjective experience and entrenchment in rigid ideas. that’s not really how intellectual curiosity should work. IMHO...
