After a few compared listening, I understand where the impressions of metallic sound and lack of depth come from. First, the sonic image is MUCH MORE FOCUSED. This reveals a lot of details and a very precise placement of the instruments but a contrario stresses the highs that can not be hidden anymore in any fuzziness of the sound. That means it is a lot less permissive than before for metallic tones that are in the original recording. Second, as some did comment before, there is no lift anymore of any instrument. Therefore, they look a little more back layed with less scenic depth but very probably with more realistic scenic representation of the recording room acoustics. In fact, I discovered that some instruments were previously hidden by others that were too much highlighted. Furthemore, everything seems louder and I had to turn yhe volume down to avoid fatiguing. In conclusion, a very realistic representation but may be a little to much analytical sound for my ears and/or my system. Not sure it gives the most sensitive and refined interpretation for my personnal taste. I will keep listening though before to conclude.
