I am hesitant to make any comments seeing as I have only had the Gungnir for about two hours, & I know how sometimes off-the–cuff statements get micro-analyzed & over-vetted…….but I just wanted to share a few immediate impressions:
The first thing I did was play some tracks from some albums I was listening to just last night on the Bifrost.
BlueTrain - Blue note re-issue LP rip @ 96k:
BASS
More air around the sax, notably better image detail on all the instruments, more of an ‘in the studio’ feel. Sort of like being at the mixing console.
Ry Cooder , Election Special - Perro Verde / Nonesuch Records LP rip @ 96k:
BASS
Voices not clear or defined via the Bf are present and clear as a bell.
Maybe a tad bright in HF right now, not quite sure. Maybe a tad, but I bet it mellows out some with time if it is anything like the Bf.
Oh, and BASS
Lots of clean, balanced, musical BASS
Did I mention the BASS? The clean smooth natural & musical BASS?
Everything seems more immediate, too. Like noise that had been cluttering up the signal has been removed. Sort of like a bottle neck being removed allowing the music to flow at a more even & quicker pace. Maybe something to do with Jason's reference to the Gungnir being his Ferrari?
