Been trying to enjoy Inward Oceans with the Zeus+ZX2. Sadly the hiss is predominantly present, in this calmer piano post-rock album.
Flinkenick really nailed the Zeus' signature IMO:
It's this lingering that makes all the sustained notes, and effects like echo, reverberation, delay so much more noticeable. But with that full mids, when combined to the decay, it's loosing its delicacy. Now with cymbals and hi-hats for example, I just love the texture and lingering, but I sure would prefer a more lifted up treble. Too polite for me. "Don't be shy Zeus, don't sparkle. Crack that thunderous lightning!" "Don't be like Gandalf with only 1 good firework in all the friggin lengthy trilogy"
Gah a dozen days left to try it with the DP-X1
That is a good point - I might have to borrow that from you for my review
