Room Too Dead
Can’t you spread the drapes a little at a time? Also as others have said, add bookshelves, CD racks, anything to diffuse the sound. All the best.  
Does an upgrade make sense?
Another vote for looking at getting a better DAC and then maybe a Subwoofer or two. I have one SVS SB 2000Pro one the wall behind my listening position. My speakers are 8’ in front of me and the subwoofer is about 7’ behind and it blends in so wel...

@desperado915  I’m not sure you are going to do any better than the Aries in your price range.  A different sound yes, but all around, no. Until you get to the Pontus ll.  I bought a Pontus ll a couple of years ago and haven’t found another DAC t...
