I too agree that using the ID40 makes it a different system.

No problem, just to be clear it would be nice if you did the same "source" test you last did but locking 861v6 down to HS=N and see if you still detect any difference. If you don't hear a difference then I think you can assume it's apodizing making the difference that you are hearing with HS=Y. Not a guaranteed conclusion but just another data point. Since the 800 and C15 are very different pieces of hardware it's hard to conclude the difference being attributed to just apodizing.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
