What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles
I'm no meatloaf lover, but I like this with beer while listening to music.  
What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers
Unless you want to go with an all-in-one speaker system, using external RC/EQ tools will give you more flexibility and potentially more accurate DSP functionality.

@tablejockey Move the thread to digital. He mentioned that at the beginning, so I thought he might be the person who could move it from the back end. Anyway, it was my fault for accidentally putting it in the Analog category.    
There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area
@dynamiclinearity Thank you for pointing out Q = 0.707 (1/√2) resulting in flattest freq. response. Do you happen to know how is it derived?

I listened to their Dayzee at the last Florida audio show & thought it was really good.  And Old Guy HiFi said Harmony micro Dac beats it... take with a grain of salt as always...  
I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah!
What is special or innovative about your design? What makes it stand out compared to existing approaches like push-pull, isobaric, dual woofer/passive setups, or other double front-firing designs? What are the strengths and unique aspects of your ...

Sorry, I missed that. How about RFI? Oops, I made another mistake—RFI is actually a subset of EMI.

Can someone (or the manufacturer) just use an EMI/RFI meter to test it before and after, instead of making these meaningless proclamations? If the manufacturer doesn’t provide test results—or refuses to—there’s a 99% chance it’s snake oil. The bur...

Advices on 10 mhz Clocks
Very interesting that both of you are hearing more detail, so I did some digging to explore why that might be. It turns out that a perfect square wave is the sum of an infinite series of sine waves at the fundamental frequency and its odd harmonic...

Thank you for the impression on Pontus II.  The refund policy by Harmony is a flat fee of $100 based on my understanding.

@sls883  Thx. Great, it is shielded.  What is length you used?  
Advices on 10 mhz Clocks
@lordmelton The 10Mhz master clock can not be used to directly run the DAC because it is not divisible by 44.1khz or 48khz. Its frequency needs to be internally converted to 45.1584Mhz and 49.152Mhz word clocks that a DAC needs to process the audi...

@oddiofyl I do like the individual impedance switch on the OCK-2—it provides some flexibility, even though I don’t have that many devices to hook up. Thank you for introducing the Mutec MC3+. I’m currently deciding on a DDC (SU-2, SU-6, U18, etc.)... 
Advices on 10 mhz Clocks
@sls883 The game changing moment came when you asked about using square wave outputs on the ock-2. Please clarify, when you had that game changing moment, were you connecting Lhy to both U18 and X30 or just U18 alone?
