I've never heard of this but it makes sense to me. Extreme Hifi can get exhausting, so I wondered what some of those guys were enjoying.
I can hear many of the differences, but even then, sometimes I like enjoying the music by "zooming out" and just listen generally vs have insane detail meaning I am "zoomed in" and must examine constantly.
