Your comment is relaxed but your amp and digital cable ,streamer have a lot to say about this as well as power chords , I have experience playing Jazz you still get the dynamic swings and burnishment of the sax or trumpet ,guitar
playing Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath ,LED zep,or the Who
the bass is powerful and defined .
I own aBig 42 lb Terminator and the Merason only 12+ lbs but lacks nothing why ?
I looked over the internals all those heat sinks each have matched pairs of Bipolar Transistors ,which give it current on demand several Big Epcon power caps
12 separate power supplies , 4 big 10 uf Vishay 500v capacitors
the nosBurr brown 1794A dac chips run in mono vs stereo1 per channel gives a additional 5 db of dynamic range over 130-db which is excellent ,plus Surface mount resistors and other bits a critical new touch since this judt came out mid 2023 a thick trace layer circuit board galvanically in several areas including the inputs very well designed ,the price just went up $9k retail .my dealer Anthony at Perrotta Consulting Audio is letting me audition it for 2 weeks since I am not far from him .I am for sure buying it , I am using AQ Niagra 3000 with their patented grounding and power correction for added dynamics their storm series I have mainly Tornado on the dac and Innuos Zenith Tornado Source just adds to-the synergy with the niagra , and the innuos works very well , Merason make less expensive dacs which I have heard before and solid at their price points Swiss build quality products.
