Oppo 205 DAC
I do have the same player and have been using the player exclusively as a DAC since July last year. I love the way it makes music and ever if I might get a dedicated DAC in the future, I might use this player for playing BluRays/DVDs in another sy...

@williewonka ,I looked at your system, but could not find any pics.I already have GIK monster traps and 244s on the wall behind me.Adding vinyl (in my specific case) might not be ideal.

One interesting mounting I found on ATS site was the Rotofast mounting system. This really can get the panels flush against the ceiling. I am not sure if I have studs in that soffit, as I understand that it was created to hide the iron beam (this ...

Very good point indeed. But I don't drive with window rolled down. The vocals are dead center. The songs don't appear left heavy. I think there is some smearing going on on the left side. The images appear pretty close to the left speaker. I want ...

@bigby Thanks. I did take a look at you room. You have amazing room treatments and that room looks pretty nice and big. Those ceiling treatments probably do wonders. But I am looking at something simpler. I also use GIK throughout my room. But I d... 
Audirvana VS Audirvana Studio
I don't think new users are offered the Audirvana anymore. And if the existing users upgrade, it is only Studio. So I don't think people can compare them on the same PC/laptop.Hoping that existing Audirvana user can chime.

Thank You @dekay . This is helpful. I found out that they also sell OC 703. So I will check out the table and decide.

On the ATS Acoustics site, I found the "ATS Acoustic Ceiling Panel 24 x 24 x 2" ceiling panel. But this is not OC 703. The specs indicate "Knauf Board with ECOSE® Technology". Anybody familiar with this? What is the difference compared to OC 703?

@mtbiker29,I suspect your amp could be a mismatch with the speaker? I have heard the Focal 1028 and know what you mean.

Gentlemen, Thank You for the various suggestions. I will start looking into getting the Owens Corning 703. Thinking of 2' X 2' X 2".@noromance the idea of symmetry is nice. But like I said, the RIGHT side has absolutely no issue. So I don't want t...

@noromance , @asctim, Thanks.The panels on the back are a bit thick (GIK 244) and mounting would be a pain. Any suggestion on where to get a square  2' X 2' X 2" thick panel? How do you mount such a panel on the ceiling? What about handling this s... 
Best walkman (tape) for around $250?
You must be having a lot of cassettes. I am seeing on eBay that they are selling the Sony WM-FX290 for more than $150. I purchased that in 2016 for $35 brand new. If you are not too critical, I suggest look at the WM-FX251 which is listed for $119...
