In practice, subtle instrumental nuances, whether in the foreground or from supporting players in the background, would often ‘come to the front’ when the series was played through the M1. Additionally, the ability to switch from Direct or Stereo playback mode to a Virtual option via the HEOS app was a bit of a boon, ensuring excerpts from Gary Numan’s ‘Cars’ were laid more expansively in the room, albeit with an acceptable smudge of hotness added. It’s a nice extra on a dual-use amp like this, and while I know some will avoid this mode when listening to their classical or acoustic recordings, here it makes sense.
