So...my first post is a negative one Im afraid...I just returned from 18 hrs flight. I used my Sony Dac / Amp PHA2 ( not available outside Japan yet I don't think) and I listened through QC2.
The resolution was fantastic and details superb from DAC. The problem was it was so uninvolving. It reminded me of when CDs 1 st arrived...sound in absolute terms superb but just not...well...involving. This Sony Hi Res outfit same. I found myself not listening but day dreaming and/ or switch from album to album.
I'm disappointed as
I cannot pin point why Im disappointed. I just couldn't get into the music even though the improvement in detail etc from just the ipod alone was terrific?

Question...do you think this might just need a burning period. I only gave it say two hours continous play so fat?
Thanks...good to be here!
John.
Ps...listen to an album called Natural Life by Natural Life.

Hi John

Welcome from me

You have the old 'perfect but somehow boring' problem I see. Maybe it will burn in but maybe you will adjust to the sound and find its hidden merits?
