Subwoofers and Crossovers.
@avanti1960 While adding the subs did you high pass your mains or did you run them full range? I am actually very happy with my setup.. but as is the case in this hobby one always wonders if things can be improved. Hence I am looking  at adding s... 
Subwoofers and Crossovers.
@artemus_5 , I did think of getting two E110s instead of two D110s + CR-1. The E110 options is much cheaper. I might be completely wrong in this, but I preferred the second option thinking that the crossover in CR-1 will be much better and I didn'...

@yogiboy I am sure, just adding the D110s will help, but one of the main reason I looking to this is to unload the bass frequencies from the mains. @mike_in_nc , I really like the sound of Cary DMS-550 and the Luxman L-507uxii and am unwilling to...

@james633 , Thank you, I will search the forum. I will probably use low cost high pass filter and then replace it with the JL CR-1 later.  
Subwoofers and Crossovers.
@yogiboy , Thanks for the information. May I ask what replaced the D110/HSU with? Just curious if there is a better solution. @james633 , Are there any intermediate priced crossovers? I am seeing them either priced at around $200 or around $3500.... 
Cary Audio DMS-550 or Aurender A10
Coming from a BluOS app Cary Audio App definitely does not have that polished look, but so far the app has been stable and is intuitive to use.I attach a Sandisk portable SSD and shove it under the DMS-550 chassis; its feet are high enough to acco... 
Cary Audio DMS-550 or Aurender A10
I recently added Cary DMS-550 to my system although I did not compare it with Aurender A10.In my case DMS-550 feeds Luxman L-507uxii (Integrated) driving Spendor D7.2 speakers. I have an SSD connect to one of the USB ports and do not subscribe to ... 
Newbie to digital streaming looking for advice on next steps
@rach_fan The directory structure is up to you. What ever makes sense to you. I have experience with two streamers(Bluesound & Cary Audio). They will scan your disk and index them with genre, artist, album name and so on.In my case, I keep my ... 
spend on the streamer or on the DAC ?
I had a Bluesound Node 2 and Schiit Bifrost 2 and was looking to upgrade the DAC and first and the streamer later. But after evaluating different options, I settled on an integrated streaming DAC: Cary Audio DMS-550.  Mainly for the following reas... 
Cary Audio DMS-550 and Album Artwork
@benzman  thanks for clarifying the issue with USB artwork.  For me it does display  proper artwork on all screens, except "genre" and the pictures are mostly random.As you say , DMS-550 is really good and I am slowly starting to ignore the wrong ... 
Upgrade help: Luxman and McIntosh.
@shahram I did listen to "Hate it Here" last night and the guitar sounded normal to my ears. My room 14ft wide and abound 30ft long. As you said, it might be room acoustics. 
Upgrade help: Luxman and McIntosh.
@shahram No I am not experiencing any harshness; it was a poor choice of words on my part. What I wanted to convey was there was more clarity and detail to cymbals compared to my previous setup.  I will listen to "Hate it Here" by Wilco this eveni... 
Upgrade help: Luxman and McIntosh.
@shahram  I have been listening to D7.2/L-507uxii combination every day and it is pleasure to do so. I listen for around three hours a day, so it is going to be a long journey breaking them in. Almost all of my albums, especially the quieter/spars... 
Upgrade help: Luxman and McIntosh.
Thanks for all the inputs. I just placed an order for Spendor D7.2 and Luxman L-507uxii. Hope to be listening to them sometime next week. 
Upgrade help: Luxman and McIntosh.
@erik_squires  thanks for letting me know about Dynaudios and volume. I will look into that. I did  read your thread where you detailed your acquisition of the 507.
