There is a change but it is subtle. It is more noticeable with some monitors than others.
Thanks Paul - When there is a track playing, I don't hear an audible difference selecting the different sounds but i do with the digital filters. I did notice a change in the 3D imaging with one of them especially though. Actually had an almost mystical 3D imagining experience that Ive never had before o_0
Would it be possible to give guidelines about what these settings are and what they actually do, including the digital filters.
I do appreciate you may want us to listen and hear and experience for ourselves
but its difficult to get a clear idea to begin with and with no guidelines
as to what the filters and sounds are designed to do Im finding it tricky to have a base to start from
Thanks Paul
I did find the following explanation from Twister's review.
Others might find also it useful . I would still love to hear from you with an explanation about them:
Digital Filter: Sharp Roll off, Sound Mode:
Original – close to neutral tuning with a tilt toward a little
brighter revealing tonality in upper mids/lower treble and a little
more emphasis in low-end impact with a nicely textured
extended rumble.
Classical – takes a little edge off the treble, taming down the
sparkle a bit, and gives you a feeling like the attack of the notes
envelope is a little slower (overall pace of the rhythm is a bit
slower).
Natural – in this mode I hear low-end and treble like in the
Original, but mids have a slightly different, more “natural”
smoother warmer tonality, especially a slightly fuller body in
lower mids.
Reference – just like the name says, this mode has a more
reference crisper sound, with a faster speed and a little colder
tonality.
Traditional – in this mode I hear mids being a little smoother,
fuller, and more forward, while treble is slightly smoother too.
Sound Mode:
Original, Digital Filters:
Sharp Roll off – as described in Original/Sharp-roll-off sound
description.
Slow Roll off – I hear the effect in mids, especially lower mids
having a little fuller body which creates a perception of the
sound being a little smoother and with a slower attack, and also
treble being a bit tamer. This reminds me a little bit of Classical
Sound Mode, just more subtle.
Short delay sharp roll off – I went back’n’forth multiple times,
comparing this to a regular Sharp Roll off filter, and to my ears I
only hear just slightly more rumble in the sub-bass.
Short delay slow roll off – in comparison to Slow Roll off, I still
hear mids with a little fuller body, but the bass is a little bit
faster now.
Super slow roll off – I hear smoother fuller body of the mids
and deeper sub-bass, making the sound a little more lush
