Ok, that’s a nicer way to ask so yes…

I have had a dCS Rossini DAC for 5 years in my system. I have upgraded to the Apex version and these are my impressions of the changes after 200 hrs break-in. There is more #bass, deeper #soundstage, better #decay, more #charm. More specifically, I hear three notable improvements:
1- Color: There’s greater #color in the notes, better #resolution of #tone and character of the sound, higher #density in the #presentation.
2- Bite: Notes have more #realistic #bite - #sharpness without #harshness - #Piazzolla’s bandoneon is more menacing and alive.
3- Disappearance: Previously music was being played like puppets - you could picture the strings driving the notes. Now music has freed itself from those strings, it exists freely and wholly in space, the DAC disappears.

I am obviously comparing the godawful original Rossini 2.0 
with the gorgeous new Rossini Apex 
(nevermind they look the same)
