In Reply to: No difference in SQ from A+ 1.5 to 2? posted by andy evans on December 20, 2016 at 06:19:41:
well, when 2 appeared i asked Damien what should be the difference in SQ, and he said: try by yourself, it's free;
so i downloaded the trial version and after a few days i didn't notice any difference, so i didn't buy the upgrade
later on i did the same... again, yesterday i tried 2.6.2 but was unable to find any interesting difference;
just now, a few minutes ago, i compared again 1.5.12 with 2.6.2 by using my touchstone: classical violin;
this time i used a few of the most challenging allegros from Mozart's Complete String Quartets,
by Quartetto Italiano (especially CDs 1 and 2), and didn't find any reason to buy the upgrade either
since i don't care about DSD, streaming, library manager, and the like, i'll continue with 1.5.12
until i find a convincing reason to pay for an upgrade
curiously enough, the marketing of the last version says: improved SQ,
but they don't say what particular sonic parameters are improved!
