New York N.Y., a George Russel classic, in Analogue Productions release fashion. All the exquisite SQ we’re used to and cherish. Really a pleasure to listen to. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We’ve noticed a bigger increase in performance using Roon. It went from a 7/10 to maybe an 8/10, while TAS remains a strong 10/10 for Sonics.

I do think that is indeed correct. Similarly, Soulution frequency response is 0-800 MHz at -3 db (and the values vary a bit for AC and DC). They are both so called high frequency designs. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
