I wonder how much better KEF R11 meta is vs older "just" R11 model. In Europe KEF sells older model for 3998€ (some stores offer way under that) and meta is 6500€. Is the difference worth 2500€ ?

True Lies had that distant rumble nuclear explosion. I think that had pretty low Hz. Visually Apocalypse Now edit: one of the best off the guard explosions: When trumpets fade

eh, did you actually watch boba fett ?

don't know about current trends, those are +15 years old speakers.

after Tidals latest update problem is gone. they fixed "loudness normalization" bug. so, no problems with Topping DAC itself :)

Thanks Veri, that's what i thought but if Tidal feeds DAC with a stream (song) then starts another one DAC goes back to it's default that's not 100% but something else. In Topping control panel i can see level goes to -4. No matter how i chance these settings, it always goes back to 77% Thanks

I have a problem with D50s and Tidal (master plan): Volume level with Tidal doesn't stay at 100% but drops to 77 each time new song starts no matter what or how i adjust levels. DAC is Topping D50s with latest drivers, Tidals "loudness normalization" setting off, "force volume" on, exclusive...
