I got a latest RE board yesterday and let it burn-in overnight. As to sq, John has put it very well yet I have to add that this RE sounds much better than other RE boards I have heard, simply unbelievable in everything. After 24 hours...

Heard of so much praises, I coudn't help from digging out the vintage Micro IV (made way back to early 06). This thing still sounds amazingly good with my HD600. Then I tried to apply some latest tweaks from Xin's; not all tweaks could...
