It is the words "rich medium" that scares me the most. I had master 7 with updated firmware feed by di-2014 via interface through i2s, sold them, tested denafrips terminator (on new speakers unfortunately) and found it to be too slow on bass frequencies in respect of my previous configuration. What I would like to understand is if r2r7 (maybe even he version) is better or worst in terms of bass/medium tightness over m7 or terminator. Otherwise I will buy he7 singularity.
Agreed, the bass is a bit slow which for me makes the Terminator a bit "boring" for my listening taste. All in perception of course. The Master 7 on the other hand had a little "bulb" somewhere in the low section (specially with 8x Oversampling).
Master 7 Singularity is much better in my perception: Very tight bass, fast; spatial and precise, better timing. Just better!
R2R7 uses the same digital board I have been told. For me the R2R 7 is more flowing compared to the Master 7 Singularity. It seems more fluent; faster. Never heard a piano this clean!
