The "new" sounds you are hearing have always been there but the instability in your former electronics was masking them. I'm not an EE, so I can't explain the particulars, but when we finally get ultimate equipment it will give us a feeling of natural stability. I think this is the biggest part of the new MQA technology. Mr. Stuart keeps referring to "temporal smearing" and how MQA eliminates it.

I'm saying the REF 75se has corrected whatever problem(s) were concealing this revealed sound from you. Try to keep up...
