I tried listening using my Sundara headphones and soundstage gap was much less compared to the HD800S but it was still noticeable. My thought is probably it could be due to my aging HD800S being the weak-link compared to the newer generation of headphones. Of course the UP5 loses quite a bit of musical clarity when compared to the EM5 but it does sound wider. I noticed that when I switched to listening on the EM5 using the internal Tidal app it sounded different. The reason I started to do this comparison was due to my listening experience on the Shanling UP5 portable dac. However I still found the instruments to be placed further apart when listening from the external USB dac input. The internal EM5 Tidal app does give superb imaging with the instruments accurately portrayed when compared to the external USB dac input. I used the PC Tidal app connected to the EM5 USB dac input versus EM5 internal Tidal app running off two musical tracks Golden Mean and Wild Monk by Osamu Kitajima. My comparison was based on a very simple setup. Okay, I did another round of AB comparison the whole night since it was mentioned that the soundstage is wider on the internal app. I believe head-fier azertyproxy had the same soundstage impressions on his EM5 in his earlier posts on this forum.
