Is this clear enough for you? Feel free to disagree though, and no point digging into it further.
EDIT: @mynameistoolongforth I’ve edited my response above. I was originally under the impression that you were referring to specifically the Ares II since that was the context in which this conversation was in and that you were suggesting the NOS mode has both a smaller soundstage and a worse implementation of a smaller soundstage (which suggests that you felt your preferences, which are subjective, are better, which are objective). I did not want to engage in a discussion about which on the Ares II is better as I believe it would be a) off-topic (but I’ve now initiated a discussion under that thread) b) I personally do believe the NOS is a better implementation which anyone is free to disagree and c) I was not interested in persuading anyone that the NOS is better, hence my initial response as a not-so-friendly reminder that let’s keep preferences as preferences and let anyone decide which they prefer or they think is better. I’ve now understood your point so I apologise for my confrontational tone and would like to know what you feel is a better implementation of audio qualities on the OS mode if you wish to engage in a more discussion under the Ares II thread.
Well you @JeffreyJhons too, except you’re more rude and can’t accept your preference is not a fact and you’re not superior. But if you need to tell yourself your opinion is more valid, that’s your world, not the real world though.
EDIT: this is my original aggressive response intended to, again, point out that I personally think it is fundamentally about preferences and it is more helpful for the forum to keep it that way. Apologies for the language used.
