Can Room Correction Be Added to an Existing DAC?
Paradigm PW Link is an inexpensive way to ARC. Optical in and corrected optical out.Since I began using Innous server with Roon and convolution filters through Acourate running my ATC 150 asl/D&D 8c  there is no way back. 
"Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial
Happened to listen to Bridge over Troubled Waters cd this weekend (and other S&G stuff) and thought it was surprisingly well recorded and sounding. Not all tracks though. The joy with a fine system is to hear it all, even the bad parts. I mean... 
Ok now I am frustrated with streaming
Sierra Hull. Thanks for a fine artist and very nice recording. Streaming of course. Requires about 2 Mb/s bandwith.

You describe what Roon filters can do to your system. Since you’re familiar to it I would recommend you to get filters done for less good old rock recordings. Few Zeppelin recordings are enjoyable with a straight filter. Modern r n’ b and electron... 
Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position
+1 dznutz...or as I suggested apply professional digital correction. 
Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine

Good thing you are measuring your room/system. Terrible curves unfortunately. I would skip the subs or cross them at 30-40 Hz and use the Roon digital equalisation. Preferably using convolution filters. You seem to have a "loaded" room so I don't ...

If you listen to all DK’s cd’s you will find that her voice differs a lot from recording to recording and also track to track. Pick the one’s you like most. Surely none of them are pure natural. Personally I like the Girl next door but it is to ba... 
Best debut album
Maybe listed before?Lynyrd Skynyrd - S/T 
Why hasn’t B&W ever entered the ultra hi-end for speakers?
There are a few. ATC and Revel is another examples of manufacturers that don’t charge you insane dollars for highest quality. A box with three or four drivers is just a box with three or four drivers.. 
Favorite song to demo or test drive speakers?
Fink recordings is a very good choise. All you need is there. 
Favorite song to demo or test drive speakers?
Lynyrd Skynyrd - S/TRickie Lee Jones - S/TDire Straits? Been to too many audio shows? :-) 
Favorite song to demo or test drive speakers?
The whole Emmylou Harris album "Cowgirl's Prayer" with it's goods and bads.As a sidenote important to test the capability of a system on modern R'n'B and electronic. Very demanding from 15-20 000 Hz. Kills Harbeht's :-) 
Beryllium Tweets
Don't intend to hijack this thread but do someone have experience with or knowledge of be tweeters from different manufacturers (Revel, Focal, Paradigm, Magico, Reference, Yamaha, Fritz, Tekton and more)? All the same or big differences in the con... 
Whats playing on your system today?
