100+ Head-Fier
I have been passively listening to the GS2 as it bakes over the past 24 hours. I have been running it continuously and listening occasionally on and off. Listening actively for the first time tonight, the sound is recessed and somewhat anemic through the midrange so I went back to listening passively. Every once in a while, something will jump out that I don't recall hearing (usually in the bass or top end with strings in particular) and I will return to active listening for a moment. When I added the Bifrost 2/64, it was already in my desktop system for a minute so no acclimation process aside from keeping it turned on. That being said, I can hear the potential and I'm being super picky right now. Listening to Rumors in 24/96 FLAC and Cleopatra in 24/44.1 FLAC to evaluate critically via Roon. Shuffling otherwise to acclimate. Enjoying the process and eager to see where we land in the near future. The Yggdrasil has been my personal grail since I joined Head-Fi so I am staying in the moment as best I can. I am unabashedly optimistic.
