| How much commonality between dacs? Depends. I will say that in general though, DACs after 2010 are MUCH better than those that came before them. (not including Oppos, Emotiva or Onkyo which manage to have the same crappy, thin sounding far east signature). I wouldn’t try anything o... | |

| Preamp, digital crossover & room correction for 3 way stereo - DEQX HDP-5, Trinnov, other? you cannot defy physics with a DEQX. Well, that's another story. :) It has been shown theoretically and practically, that the combination of bass traps and EQ is very powerful, allowing you to correct peaks as well as nulls, so in that sense, the... | |
