| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts I agree that you should get a flat frequency response in your room, mine is posted in my profile if anyone cares to check. There is 35 years worth of published research that listeners prefer a flat frequency response. Do I win a pink panther now? ... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts What is interesting is there is no published standard I am aware of in what listeners prefer in a dac. You can argue all you want for a $2 dac or a $4 dac, I know of no published studies. The links you posted @djones51 are anecdotal and appreciate... | |
| Looking for Advice on Focal Speakers Yes, the curtains will help. Here is the link to try out the upgrade software and infor about the calibrated mic you would need to buy separately. Buying new speakers without getting a flat frequency response first isn't a good use of funds IMO: ... | |
| Looking for Advice on Focal Speakers Next you have the acoustic unfriendly windows on the left, maybe some curtains? These rec’s are for any speakers you own. Finally I would get the audyssey upgrade through the microsoft store (read the review I posted) and the calibrated mic neede... | |
| Looking for Advice on Focal Speakers OK, the pic is very helpful. The first thing is getting your listening position at the proper angle to the speakers. Dolby recommends a 22 to 30 degree angle to the front L and R speakers to the MLP. This would require you bringing the sofa toward... | |

| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @djones51 , I liked your post, DAC’s are commodities, if you have a link that shows there is no listener preferences among dacs great. The number chasing guru must be on a different website, maybe you can rescue the , uhhh, "ill informed" before t... | |
| Starting from scratch in a large room @mceljo , I think you make a fantastic conclusion about the end game is appreciating a more realistic sound. I disagree with this forum being "elite". The recommendation I made of Paradigm PW600 includes, the speakers, the amps, a streamers, the d... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts If no research exists on DAC listener preferences I have a new ranking system: eeny, meeny, miny, mo, if you like it pay and go! If you like my new ranking system go to your dealer and just start your own audition process. Until there is some... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @djones51 , thanks for the link about human physiology. Please find a link that shows what listeners prefer in a DAC. Here is a white paper of what listeners prefer in headphones as an example: | |
| Need Help Optimizing PC Audio I use a Sony Blueray player that will play every file imaginable to my video display and Marantz processor. You can stream your FLAC files via DLNA. It also has an upmixer (DSEE) that upmixes files to hirez if you prefer. Check out: https://www.a... | |
| Looking for Advice on Focal Speakers OP, you need to address the open floor plan as well as addressing your speakers. Have you taken measurements of your in room frequency response yet? Can you post your system, pics, and your measurements in your virtual system in your profile (see ... | |
| Starting from scratch in a large room The OP’s question is is NOT about speakers, it is "starting from scratch in a large room and the challenge is book shelf speakers must be used. So, to start from scratch: 1) Get a room kit from Auralex or Sonitususa.com to treat the room. Call t... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @jtgofish , at least there is data to support what listeners like in speakers and headphones. Do you know of any data that supports what listeners prefer in DACS? ASR seems to rank DACS by SINAD. Can anyone reading this thread (calling @amir_asr )... | |
