Thanks a lot for this! OMG, it sounds so good on Roland. Now I see what WarriorPoet was talking about when he said about violin sounding good on Roland. Such a good mastering, sounds better, than most of what I've listened on tidal last few days. On Xonar U7 it sounds more natural than Sony ier-M9.
And this one sounds like a recording studio. I can hear the room, weird. But still good! Could be my U7.
I'l get back to you when I listen to all of it but so far holy smokes! It sounds a lot better than M9. No room feel on M9.
On LX cello dominates the mix and sounds way to thick. Better than M9 but still behind Roland. On LX it sounds good but it doesn't move me. On Roland it does!
Cannot really focus on mids separate but it looks that mids here have the magic. I'm not a mid-head, so this level of coherency is entirely new to me. CL2 comes to mind and ier-z1r but this is more balanced than at least CL2. Not sure about z1r, but with this mix, I don't think I miss it.

Oh my heavens yes. That feeling of live vibration is just uncanny on Roland. Strings SING.
If I'm close enough to the orchestra while conducting, I can feel the vibrations off the stringed instruments on my skin. It's one of those feelings I live for. Roland pulls that off so well, my face tries to tell me I'm standing in front of the violins!
