Hi, compared to the Terminator Plus or T+ 12th I could hear, I found the T15th been above the T+ 12th (I found same details level and the rest above with mid-range providing much more emotion and is more natural - between the T+ 12th and the T 15th, the T 15th is the winner - a youtube deep test has qualified it as the best under $10000 dacs). A T+ 15th already exist but I never could hear it and no idea how better it could be.

How does the Terminator 15th compare to the Slither io flagship Terminator Plus in terms of soundstage and detail retrieval?
