Would this room work?
Thank you for your responses. yes, the peak runs parallel to the 17 foot walls. I am not sure but I think the side walls are about 6 feet high. I will go back to the house on Sunday and measure more completely 
ayon integrateds--USB input... for what?
MI8 Thanks for reporting in. If the Cd 1 is that good, can't wait to hear the 5s 
ayon integrateds--USB input... for what?
MI8, do you know what model of Ayon you friend has? 
ayon integrateds--USB input... for what?
I have an Ayon CD 5s on order, they upgraded on this model to an excellent asynchronous USB port. The unit does have a built in DAC as well as a built in quality preamplifier, so you could potentialy shrink three items (transport, DAC and pre)into... 
Disappointing Evening
I play my system very softly in the background during a dinner at a party. Usually at least some of the guest say, What is that beautiful CD? I show them the CD cover. They don't comment on or notice the equipment. Later if I cant resist and someo... 
Have you become too jaded with this hobby???
I go long stretches (years) where I am enjoying the music deeply on whatever equipment that I have. During these times I still stay interested in hearing new composers or new renditions of my favorites. Then I will have a period of equipment analy...

PS Perfect Wave Trans/DAC versus Meridian 808.2
Yes I still want to audition the PS gear - who knows how good it gets unless you hear it? 
PS Perfect Wave Trans/DAC versus Meridian 808.2
A Meridian rep was kind enough to bring over a 808.3 so that I could hear in my system today. Not much difference going into my preamp versus what I have, But going directly into my amp balanced, the three of us there were super impressed from the... 
Oh how I wish Class D amps ...
I have the Nuforce Reference V3SE's. They require special setup that includes power isolation, and given their low mass and weight (about 7 lbs) vibration control and weighting on top to sound their best. They are worth these efforts. They respond...
