I came from an Audiofire 4 and noticed an immediate difference. The low
end was tighter and more defined. It also had an extended top and
seemingly, lots of space.

I then did some a/b between the pres and my Daking single, using my
Beesneez James. Surprisingly, I really like the pres. They are smooth, warm
and yet, open... more so than the Daking (to my ears). It has a little less
thickness than the Daking. Their smoothness also highlighted the mid
action in the Daking. On my vocal, I think I preferred the MR's pres. I was
able to use a setting in my modified James that gives more top and
extends the bottom. On the Daking, it got funky in the high mids when
doing so.

This unit rocks.

Sorry for the confusion, but the a/b was the mr816 pre's against the daking with the audiofire?
