RE: High Resolution upgrade

When the 3 of us (plus a Japanese former colleague who took us there) visited ELP factory we were treated to a comparison between the normal version and the hires version. The hires version sounded something like 6dB louder at that time.

My friends and I all bought a unit each. When I had all 3 units at my home to run them in, I was surprised that the normal version sound just as loud as the other 2 hires version. I did thought at that time, maybe Chiba san made a mistake and didn't provide the hires upgrade as agreed. So I wrote to him asking more specifics about what's in the upgrade - is it on an extra board that we can identify visual. He wasn't very communicative at all.

Still, there are very audible sonic differences between the 2 versions.....


That day, in that ELP factory listening room, I first tried out the memory erase procedure on that demo hires version unit. It was already very audible. And when I've had the unit for more than 2 years later, I discovered another even more effective memory erase procedure that yield even more sonic benefits. This thing has a mini computer inside that retains memory!
