As I have noted in other threads I had to pre sell my Omni to fund the Carbon so I have not done a real time direct A/B but ( I think/feel like off memory) the Carbon has
A more open 3D-ish "right there" sound to it
Also as a side note::: it seems that the 32 bit throughput on the Carbon allows more headroom before hitting the red .. BUT it also seems like this can mean "too much signal" (and sibilance over crappy laptop spks ) when converting to MP3 or say uploading a song to SoundCloud or YouTube ? Or maybe it's just my pilot error
