I am on day 2 of having a Recovery and 0.5m WW Platinum Starlight between my Silenzio and K03x and am simply impressed. I tested one song from my Accuphase Sampler Disc 1, 'Dialogue with Bass'. I have this ripped to a DSF file and it has noticeable 'glare' and smearing of the cymbals which are isolated and clearly struck in this piece. The decay is muddy.
In comes the Recovery and the cymbals sound perfect. I can't describe it any other way. My listening continues and I don't always hear it as better but it never detracts from life without it.
Thanks to Charles and Randy for driving this and Dan for giving it that extra kick. And of course, Ivan for supplying the unit itself and the cable.
Next up for me is to compare the streaming file with the Recovery in place to the SACD original.
