Resolution (and transparency so you can hear it) isn't without its downsides. I think there's two issues:1. You hear EVERYTHING. On my Gould/Bach Italian Concerto SACD it's very distracting. The FIM "River of Sorrow" SACD has an overwhelming presence which means you're on the edge of your seat as it's all very "live". So much for putting on a nice disc to relax! I still think it's a step in the right direction, I just have to get used to it.
2. Transparency highlights problems in other areas of the system. I've noticed that my system sounds different (slightly harsher high frequencies) at different times of the day and I'm pretty sure it's not my imagination, biorhythm, whatever. I starting to wonder if this is caused by voltage drop in the supply. Anyway, I going to look next at power conditioning (I currently have a $100 power board with modest smoothing circuitry). Has anyone tried UPS's designed for computers? I can pick these up pretty cheap. I'm after voltage stability and smoothing.
