Big thief is a bit congested and couldn't get much out of it ( still the nanos were able to get some sense of depth out if it so that might be one thing to use it for.) but Within was very impressive.Yes, this is really nice
One track I always make sure to play is ”Within” by Daft Punk. It such a nice, well recorded track with alot of details. Once everything falls into place you just stop listening to your system and listen in awe to the music (at least I do!). But it’s really, really hard to get it to sound just right: the piano, the vocoder, the cymbals, effects etc. Another one is ”Little Things” by Big Thief. It just hits different when you get everything right.
This is good!
Because of that D.P. song you shared I was able to pin point two resonant in the Nanos drivers. There's one right at 6900hz (the strongest one and it sound like a metal post ringing) and another one at 470hz ( a bit less obvious but very cumbersome for the mid range).
I don't think it need to be corrected as it seems to be a driver flaw more then a frequency target issue. I'm not sure I'm happy I noticed it, I don't want to start focusing on that in everything I listen to, lol.
In total fairness, you really need to listen and focus on those specific frequencies to hear it. It help if you isolate it with a very sharp EQ ( like a Q of 3 or so.)
You can clearly hear it (the 6900hz resonant) in the opening piano part of ''Within''. ( I confirmed on my other references and it's there pretty much everywhere....but not on Chan Chan for some reason....go figure).
EDIT: I thought it might be a fundamental of the highest note on a piano but apparently only a 108 key piano can produce such an high note fundamental resonant and its unlikely that they played one as the first one was built in 2018. It also sound like they played a ''normal'' grand.)
Thanks for sharing.
