What order?
Acoustic tuning, but rather than try to DIY it I strongly suggest you call GIK Acoustics. They have places you can submit fotos and get advice. Great products and very knowledgeable staff.Then try Dirac.

I have no problem wiht the comressed foam earbuds, plus, VERY good noise isolation.  
unmarked HDCD's
Hi guys,I did a lot of research into the subject. For stupid reasons, many CDs were digitally marked as HDCD, but do not take advantage of any of the features of HDCD such as dynamic range expansion or filtering. In essence, they are plain-Jane CD...

Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system?
Chubaka,Actually, this is a very good point! I mean, Parasound DOES make very nice things, but their Z series gear in particular is IDEAL for the starter 2-way system. :) I highly recommend it. Their little ZDac V2 is the better of some $2k gear.

I will say, for the form factor, the Mytek is really small, even for a digital amp. I'm VERY curious to know what is inside it. :)  A scaled down nCore? Pair of Pascal amps???? Hmmmm......my screwdrivers scream to be let loose to see inside. :) I'...
