Oh I read them well enough. You provided an opinion, in a comment, as to the quality of the Nord buffer with respect to an adjective "musical" which you openly professed does not have a defined meaning. Or perhaps you were so bold as to say it is more "musical" for any and all possible reader definitions of "musical". A very bold view indeed. 🙂

"Opinion in a comment"? You play quite well with words.

I've just used dave123's words to express my personal preference.
I don't agree with such terms for audio equipment description.
I don't believe other people preferences should play any role when choosing audio equipment (but they may have a value, just as a statistic).
 
Our new cases much higher quality fit and finish.

After more consideration, I think i am going to use LME49990 (with Rev C board) on my system, instead of the SI994:s. It just suits my system better overall and everything is just right. Which does not mean SI994 is bad in anyway. But for instance in my room acoustics the bolder and bigger bass is just too overwhelming. It messes with so many things i have been trying to avoid now when i have more control of the result.

Also i just feel more relaxed while listening to LME49990, the sound is more laid back but still provide great sound stage with depth (like OPA2132P, but better). This is just a personal preference too. I might try SI994 later, but I think its just trying to fix something that is already really good and as near perfection as i understand it.

Do you perhaps know a place where the LME49990 can still be bought.
I only find them from Chinese sellers on ebay, which I do not trust.

Thanks
