i spoke in my last post about an answer to your question : what are all the " more musical" OPTIONS ... What means more "musical" when a reviewer spoke about a piece of gear...
I dont spoke in this last posts as in my other posts here about the acoustic parameters defining the concept of "musical" in acoustic ... ( timbre- distortion- immersiveness- spatial qualities)
What control the impression of "musicality" we had in front of a system is not only gear change but room acoustic controls... For example the location of a listener in a room is a parameter of acoustic control etc... There is a huge number of parameters , dimension , geometry, topology, acoustic content ( glass or wood or rug etc) , surface ratio of reflection and absorption and diffusion and their balance , reverberation time , HTRF and inner ears parameters, pressure zones distribution , speakers characteristics, etc...All these parameters are used to CONTROL the timbre impression and the immersiveness by the right ratio between the sound source dimensions and the listener location, and finally the spatial dimensions between all sound sources ...
For example i just change a bad cable for a better one, but this small audible change dont compare to room acoustics change... Even most change in amplification or even with speakers change will not exceed huge impact of the acoustics room controls ...
But we cannot replace a bad amplifier with room acoustic control nor a bad cable or a bad dac by a new room ... 😊
"More musical" means an upgrade of gear or /and upgrade of room acoustics...
Seriously??? That is what you think the definition of "more musical" is?? A simple "upgrade of gear"??? And if the gear upgrade doesn’t work and the result actually sounds like hammered sh!t, then is it still "more musical"?
At least you were finally able to provide a concise definition. I’ll give you that anyway.
