Bosso:

About the only change I can hear is one I also heard on the prototype: it sounds a bit more 'spatial', in that it seems to have a more open and 'big' soundfield. Tonally, it sounds very, very good. In stereo, I have a switch where I can directly A/B the 950/DVD combination (optical input to the 950) to a direct feed from the excellent DACs in my DVD player (bypassing the 950 entirely). I can hear absolutely no tonal difference in my system when doing this. Given the details of that was changed in the new 950, this makes sense.

I'd be very curious to the reactions of the others who get the new unit about sound changes.
