Is DEQX a game changer?
Al, please clarify/confirm what you are reporting. At this point, I think you are saying that your DEQX is being used in bypass mode ... no signal corrections yet. If so, presumably there should be little or no impact on the signal as it passes th... 
Room correction - what device works best?
As many of you already know, I own the DEQX PreMATE. It took a couple of sessions with Larry, the DEQXPert, to dialed in my rig and I am quite satisfied. No need for me to repeat what Al (Almarg), Drewan and other believers have already said. Suff...

Sounds like it's time to send your SP-9 to ARC for a check-up. There may be other parts that are ready for replacement. The SP-9 was of mid 80s vintage I believe. It's time. 
Room correction - what device works best?
Unsound ... in a way ... yes. I used my ARC CD-8 CDP as a transport and ran its digital output directly into the DEQX's digital input. On the margin, maybe a little better going "digital" direct as compared to using the CD-8's analogue output into...

Just have 45 hours. Getting better. It sounds better on some source music selections than others. Still to early to say. But it definitely sounds different that the Ref 150 avec KT-120s. 
Room correction - what device works best?
I agree with Zd542 ... if possible. In my case, it was not possible to "correct" my room. As you may already know, I opted for the DEQX PreMATE. It tamed my speakers and room. BUT ... I am not thrilled that it required adding an artifact between m...

Still early to post detailed comments. The sonic color of the amp is still morphing ... first dark and now bright. I only have about 25 to 30 hours on the amp. 
Looking to hear new systems in New Jersey
Thafler and Ctsooner ... I suggest that you read the thread about whether DEQX is a Game Changer. I bought the DEQX PreMATE and I think it "tamed" my system in many important ways. Room and speaker correction were parts of the solution. Perfect .....

Been reading the posts. It seems like Tidal streams material with a SQ closest to redbook CD. Is that the consensus view.

btw, do I have to use Google Chrome? Seems like when I do, I get more pop ups.

Thanks guys. So what's the best way to stream it from WIFI into my system? I have a PC and also my DEQX PreMATE has a DAC function.JL35 .. what is the significance of 1411 bps?? Does it relate to CD resolution, e.g., 16 bit/44.1 kHZ?

Fair point Ebm. Anyway, I listened to all 3 records. Wow. Just terrific! I repeat my suggestion that it would be worthwhile to pick up this special collection. I think Oregonpapa alerted me to the eBay site where the set was auctioned. Thanks man!...
