Now, my Macro has to go back to Xin in order for him to increase the bass boost from 6db to 10db (I don't know what is the bass boost on the SD) and the comparative difference may well change.. However, when you compare midrange and upper frequencies, the Macro is much cleaner and more crsip than the SD, in my opinion, especially with piano and some percussive instruments such as the triangle and cymbals. I was thinking of selling my SD, but now I'm not so sure! They both sound amazing for their sizes. |

If you follow fixup.net's support forum, you get a good sense of Xin's commitment to service - straight up, he fixes what's wrong usually pretty quickly. Don't mean to sound like fanboy, I just continue to be impressed with his designs and service. |
