To my ears, it doesn’t have any glare. I believe that it is highly resolving and very detailed without sounding analytical. But it must be kept in mind that these are subjective perceptions that apply to me, and may not necessarily indicate what your experience will be. When I read through the owners, manual or part of it anyway, it sounds like the way they voice their equipment is to make it as neutral as possible, and then do the final voicing by ear. As you probably already know, their products are sometimes described as sounding just slightly to the warm side of neutral.Very nice. Thanks for the reply. Most of all I hope it doesn't have any glare! I've fought glare my whole digital hifi life. I'll feedback if I get it - the overseas dealer is very slow to respond and I'm wondering whether it really exists. If there's anyone out there in Europe inclined to sell theirs on the way up to Ethos or other, please message me.
