What has happened to my Muso 2? (Huge increase in sound quality).

[JoeSoap]

Well, I'm floored. I have owned a Muso2 system for quite a while now and I've always been really disappointed with a flat one dimensional and not especially enjoyable sound. No more.

What's happened? A couple of things -

1 I was struggling recently to get the Muso2 to talk reliably to my One Plus phone that I use to stream Apple music. I replaced the WiFi network connection with a wired LAN connection.

2 It recently installed a firmware update, the first time I can remember this happening in my Muso2 ownership.

For the first time, I am now listening since those two changes. It's a different system!

I'm currently streaming Cat Stevens album On the Road to Find Out via Apple Music. For the first time in my ownership, the Muso2 actually sounds like I was hoping it would.

Decent soundstage, lots of detail and it feels like Cat Stevens is enjoying the music as much as I am.

What a difference a couple of changes have made.

I've reinvigorated my Naim Uniti Lite for office use and would categorically state that, in my experience, Naim products have to be used with a wired LAN connection. Otherise, I experience constant drop outs.

Naim recently updated firmware, but I though it was due to a change in internet radio provider. It may have had increased benefits for your system!

Thanks. Whatever it is that's happened, the change is pretty transformation to be honest. I'm now enjoying a session of Van Morrison. Sounds excellent.

But Van still doesn't sound very happy, I guess that's not actually possible though!
