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
