I for one drive a German, so it's practically noise free. But Audio Reiner hit the nail on the head...for some reason 2.2 doesn't seem as spacious. It's really weird.
Also, ghostwraith has done tests as he has shown. Now, audio engineering is not my field of expertise....mechanical and automotive engineering is. Anyways, he has done tests and clearly there is a difference between 2.0 and 2.2. I encourage those who question his methods and what not. But the point is, regardless of whether he was measuring noise or distortion; whether he was measuring from the headphone out or lineout, there is a difference, when it seems that there shouldn't have been.
Also someone mentioned that he should be using a higher load on the lineout. I agree with that, however, the point of an experiment is to see the effect of changing various variables....regardless of whether or not he used too low of a load on the lineout, as long as the load was the same when doing the tests on the different fw versions it doesn't really matter
