When you mention Darko and H2, which he gave a good review of, I just can’t help but think of the verge, and it’s crap review of H2. I don’t know what type of drugs the reviewer was taking at the time, but it clearly was ototoxic.
Well I had to read the verge review of ch2. Interesting. While I didn’t come to the same overall conclusion of musicality I did struggle in testing ch1 and ch2 because while I did find the detail and separation in the mids and lower note detail I preferred the ch1 bass and vocals. Now I’m no tech but came to a conclusion that part of ch2 success or ch1 failures are in fact opposite to some degree. I’m no golden ear but I did find the glory reviews by others of night and day better as a function of my declining acuity. But maybe I wasn’t alone. I also agree the balls and filters were unnecessary, just give us the goods thanks.
Of course overall my conclusion diverged from the verge but interesting. Ymmv,IMO....
