Oouuuuw interesting, I liked how questyle daps sounded I wonder to what extent the big desktop unit elevates that sound house 😍🤩
It's magical, man...I have to send this puppy out tomorrow and it's breaking my heart....

I can totally understand how magical it is, questyle has something very special in there house signature I haven't yet heard anything similar anywhere else. I put questyle sound house in same category as Sony's, its unique and remarkable.

I would love 1 day to hear the questyle 12 🥰

Boring in what way ? for the money spent (700 euros) i find them just fine and quite exciting, in fact i may enjoy them nowadays more than Zeus XR (which sound kinda boring next to NT6 atm...)

ok, the NT6 soundstage is kinda narrow but i can live with that

NT6 pro seems to be a more v-shaped NT6 which is a no-no (v-shaped is a bad, BAD word)
I feel it is too flat sounding for me 😂

That's great news! Since I tend to like what he doesn't, e.g. Fourte and Thummim... 😊

I'd actually like to read it. I respect him as a reviewer. We just have different taste.
Well I just had a quick look in the 3DT thread. Good thing I did.. Saw the FR chart. Very Odin like mids.. Plus many folks applying filters to make them less harsh... So these are not for me unfortunately...

The flaw of the 3DT...the tuning. Some can handle it, I can't for long periods. I have to apply a filter to make it non-fatiguing. It's a shame really because the tonal properties of the bass are quite unique.

Well back from stay in hospital. Supposed to be 1 night, turned out to be 4! One was self enforced as they had not booked transport in time.
Welcome back David, hope it all went well and you have a quick recovery!

Ehhhh.... I would reconsider...'Harsh' is too harsh a word. I'm listening as we speak and there is no percieved harshness...just saying. But I'm using a 1K cable, too... :smirk:

For me its more to do with 'shout' than it is to do with it being 'harsh', and to do with the amount of presence given to certain areas in the mids. I like to listen loud so its always been a struggle coping with it. I've never struggled with sibilance however.

Well, this Monile 1950 cable is a force of nature, super clear, dynamic, smooth mids, smooth extended highs...the synergy with M8 and 3DT is delicious....but alas, I must get ready for work.... :sweat:

The new releases of pwa stuff is just pure fire.
My Monile 1950 had some congestion in the upper mids...but with 130 hours on it...it is burning in nicely and now the clarity is coming through...gonna put 300 hours on it...if anyone wants a dynamic monster with clarity and rich bass...i urge you to get this cable...i adore it and its an 8 wire and built like a tank...unreal soundstage....total fanboy...
