Must say, and I'm sure owners will agree, if going to demo this player, try to make sure that it has been powered up for at least 30 minutes, as it needs to be a little warm to sound at its best
Anybody got any experience with the M2 and any other IEM's other than the Flare's?
Something just sunk in today about DXD and DSD. DSD uses a 1-bit delta-sigma A/D conversion process (which was the current thinking when DSD was invented) whereas today, 1-bit is outdated and something like 5-bit delta-sigma is prefered.
You can't record DSD with 5-bit delta-sigma conversion but you can record PCM with it. DXD data rate is about three times DSD64 (i.e. higher resolution in some ways, but different) so it means you can use the modern recording processes and still create DSD64 and DSD128 from it without loosing quality.
So it does have more relevence than just marketing (but not necessarily for the consumer).
Anyway, just wanted to express that thought!
I really, no REALLY liked the QP1R - that being said, the ARM2, amped (Vorzuge Pure II+) sounds damned fantastic too!Whent to can jam today and had a good listen to the qp1r ,901s,Soundaware,lotoo 5000 and the turbo charged Arm 2 what a match for Heir 8
