Meze Empyrean 2-Improved or Sacrificed Musicality for Technicalities?-Honest Audiophile Impressions

A BIG thank you to Meze Audio for providing the Empyrean 2 for review, much appreciated.

The Empyrean 2 follows in the foot-steps of the legendary Empyrean. Does the Empryean 2 improve or sacrifice the musicality of the original Empyrean for more technical abilities? How does it compare to the Audeze LCD-5? Does the Moondrop Para sound similar?

Meze Empyrean review:
   • Meze Empyrean - End of the Journey!?  

I am not a professional sound engineer, producer, musician, or vocalist, etc. I have not done any scientific research, measurements, or in-depth testing of any kind; just my own listening, comparing and internet reading/research. I have limited, real-life experience with recording, mixing and mastering gear. I have been involved since my teenage years with various churches as an amateur sound booth technician.

Please take these thoughts, opinions and reasonings as just that, my honest audiophile thoughts, opinions and reasonings.
