Yes, compare, just have a bag of cotton balls ready for that Paradigm tweeter. Ear bleeding is a real possibility.

1. No. No updates planned that I’m aware of.
2. No. The 5000 is much quieter than the 7000.

The consensus is that converting MQA to DSD is not the desired approach and is not...

To clarify, what I said was that upsampling a BAD 16/44 to DSD can help take the edge off. Of course there are plenty of great 16/44 recordings.

Let me know how the comparisons go, but I’m still convinced the upsampling of everything to DSD is effecting the results.
