Hi. I'm wondering if you always choose this sound mode. I can say that it will bring out more detail but the bass is restrained. I am a bass lover so this mode is not suited for me. Fortunately, my subwoofer is connected to the amp using a high level neutrik cable. I can still get the bass that I want even though the bass is bypassed so with proper adjustment on the subwoofer I can get the detail of Source Direct plus the bass of my subwoofer. For me (Source Direct + a subwoofer with high-level connection = perfect musicality).[]
