Review

"In every instance the XV2 outperformed the HDXV by a significant and unquestionable margin. Better focus, more transparent, slightly wider and slightly deeper soundscape, better illumination at the back of the stage, slightly more recessed soundscape, tighter bass improving pace and rhythm, as well as revealing more timbre in the bass, better inner details revealing more room tone and timbre, lower noise floor (because there was less noise all over), smoother, more grain-free, more open at the top end revealing better shimmer on the cymbals, better upper harmonics of string instruments, better control of sibilance, etc. All in all, the XV2 is a significant step closer to the master tape." -
Enjoy the music, Rick Becker - read review
