kota 1 have a point here....

Sound immersiveness and clarity can help someone to  go beyond his limited tastes and habits...

Myself because everything sound clear and immersive in my audio system , i live each evening in ectasy...

i would even like to upgrade but it seems preposterous and impossible...

I am afraid to do so because of the staggering costlier price at stake... Save the Choueri BACCH filters one day...Because with this filters dac i know for sure that it will not be marginal but deep upgrade...

When the sound is so good anybody can begin to appreciate the richness of world music not only jazz or classical...

my favorites albums are not in a style or in a genre... they are the musicians and composers i called geniuses..

 

By the way kota1 , i would be curious of your sonic impressions and musical impressions about 2 operas:

among my favorite ,

Kurt Weil Die Dreigroschenoper with Lotte Lenya because the soundfield is top...And it is the best interpretation ever of this masterpiece which contain the soul of an era ...

And Philip Glass Akhnaten for the same reason and it contain the soul of ancient Egypt... It is a masterpiece...

SOUND

I can’t listen to opera MUSIC, not my taste.

But go to the opera with high quality SOUND, yes.

 

I think most people on here will answer both. We love music AND want top sound quality. 

Main and Office

Musical Content 1st, combined with Excellent Engineering/Imaging

Garage/Shop

Content Mostly, however working on counter 'centered' Imaging also Important

Auto

Music that can be successfully listened to at 'not too loud' volumes, i.e. Voice not buried in sound, or small Jazz Trios etc., still audible while Donna is napping.

Survey Monkey is a great polling app.  It’s free BUT does require a premium subscription to exceed 50 responses.  About $100 annually.  I did a survey here recently and paid for it out of pocket.  It was worth the investment.  Would be nice if A’Gon would fund this.  Could learn a lot about each other.  
 

Fast.  Efficient.  Revealing.  Why not?
