I agree that the speaker/room interface is the most important aspect of a HiFi system. but now we have another tool to tackle this problem : digital correction by using DSP boxes beetwen the CD transport and the Converter . this is the future ! i got fantastic results with the following : Digital signal coming from a goldmund 36+ into an upsampler Weiss SCF2 (to 24/96 khz) then correction of the speaker/room interface with a Weiss equalizer (working at 24/96 in digital) then upsampling to 192khz with a DCS 972 and finally converting into analog with the DCS Elgar. I do not think it is possible to get better. olivier
