"The natural ring of cymbals also increased, sounding less like hiss and more like metal."
This is exactly what I am hearing too, and it caused a moment of pause for me when I first listened to this setup. It is real, I swear! There are other improvements, but this was the most obvious one. It sounded like the drummer was in my room.
I know this is not something readily explained by the AHB2’s solid design and science, as shown in the above graphs. Thank you, Mr. Benchmark :) Maybe the fact that I now have two power supplies vs. one is a factor? Another thing I did not mention, and maybe this is part of the equation, is that I am using Spotify. So like everything else YMMV.
