u could upload some sequences with filter modulations in both square and saw and i could do some with my xox just for a sound comparison? or anybody that has a xox and time can share here for enlightening 
dunno if i find the time today though but within the next days for sure..

He is the one that built mine. Heard lots of people saying he build the best ones with quality components and rare parts. I love its sound, there is no noise on mine either, even when I close the VCF all the way, I have to turn my monitors really loud to hear a very soft hiss of sequences. If I play the rest of the music at the same volume, I'll go deaf. So very noiseless built.

i do not believe the recording chain makes so much of a difference. if it ain´t total shit non pro audio equipment.
just record plain via dac into your pc/mac with no hardware or software processing. if you play melodies and tweak filters then you do get to know the sound of the xox for sure. forget about 5-10% better or worse because of the dac used..

on a sidenote:
xoxshop will provide you with sound samples from the very xox you will get prior to shipping if you want. i am sure andy pledger will do the same.. thats the best way to not get dissappointed imho.

yeah, this isn't the situation here, noise is even audible in the mix :/ i had to put a steep lowpass eq to make it go away.

XOXSHOP are the worst mate, thats what i bought, fair enough it sounds like a XOX but
the resonance pot is wrong , the accent knob is wrong
MY resonance has a center dent in it. ?!?!?WTF

wouldnt be surprised if half the components are wrong as well |

how loud does your xox output get in full volume open filter no res no mods on? mine is like halfway on my mixer meter don't remember the db but really quiet.
the freebass in comparison would kill your speakers, your cat and your neighbors if left like this.

With 0 resonance and open filter is it very loud. I don't use a mixer, but I don't use much input gain. Not a genuine comment, but its loud. It has the high gain VCA chip in stalled.

ok yeah, then you defo got a different build.
i guess it is not an objective synth to discuss because there are so many variations, sucky/good.
a friend who i collab with also has one, a totally different look and with no mods. i will borrow his next week and compare, this could provide a lot of answers.
