"From cerebral big band jazz to rough hip-hop, it confidently played everything we streamed via various protocols. All with an amazing joy of playing, unobtrusive fine resolution and astonishing level reserves. The bass tended to remain on the voluminous, massive side, but this fitted in well with the impression of this dynamic 'wall of sound.'"
