Once apon a time  Wink there was a person who said to me, don't see the SQ of the NOS1 as something fantastic but see it more in a "normal" way.

Well in a way he was right i guess.

Not anymore!! The new USB NOS1 is fantastic all over. Unbelievable and totally unheard

Crystal Clear, 3D, Pure, and as Mani said very very musical.

Peter, Ciska thank you so very much for the pleasure you have gave us!!!!

Gerard


sounds good ! love this

Hey Gerard, nice to hear. However, if your experience is anything like mine your ecstacy might be short-lived. I'm now discovering shortcomings in the rest of my setup. For example, I've started experimenting with the placement of my speakers for the first time since I've had them. In the past, they've sounded too aggressive with too much toe-in. But now they sound just great with '60 degree' toe-in, and the amount of detail is staggering, with no 'aggression' whatsoever.
