Interesting. Given that I've the exact same track and perhaps even the same OPPO digital source, one might think the two presentations would sound more alike than different.

Nice harpsicord and soprano in the back half.

I suggest setting volume 1 notch past max.

Rolls-Royce never specified power output, simply declaring it “adequate.” Cans on or in and crank her up!

Heard this track live in the room…insanely good!

Not my most dynamic but still a rather enjoyable piece. BTW, I get the biggest kick when some bloke tells me my in-room recordings are lackluster, sterile & lifeless, zero transparency, etc. Such comments lead me to think some of us don't know what we're doing and/or what we're talking about - and I'm starting to think it's me. ;) Give it some juice.

Goebbel Marquis sovereign Engstrom loads of tweaks at audio exotics sounding good

There's that empty coffee can sound again. Always amazes me how we interpret what we hear so vastly differently.

This is certainly a menacing piece to say the least with tremendous dynamics in the back half. Give it some juice.
