I've had the last 4-5 hrs to myself listening to music in both direct and Trifield with the +3dB adjustment. I've gone through a couple of full albums and then started mixing it up through as varied a collection of styles as you can get

e.g.Krall, NIN, Porcupine Tree, Knopfler, Finn Bros, Kravitz, Ruben Gonzalez, etc etc

All playing through the new SB Touch into G68->8k's. Mixture of 44k/96k and 16-24bit files.

In a nutshell:- I am chuffed to bits (translated = very very pleased)

I have not yet found a downside to the 3dB tweak. All music that I played seems to have more authority, more articulation, more detail. Bass has more punch; treble is cleaner, crisper and yields more texture to the ring of high-hats and cymbals; voices are sweet and detailed.

This is really not a subtle tweak. I liken it to the "wow-factor" that we pretty much all had at HH2 in the foyer. I am then struck by the notion that the 808.2 was playing directly into those 8k's presumably at full 0dB.

For those with DSP and a processor, I can only suggest you have a try with this as it's possibly the biggest impact upgrade you will have for a long time.

You might even say this one has infinite bang for the buck wink

I hope/trust that M will comment on this in due course. It is surely going to be #1 on any Q&A list for while.

cheers
