| Boulder 2160 vs Dan D'Agostino S250MxV Boulder and D'Agostino have fairly different goals in their sound character so I'd say it depends what you're looking for. Both are excellent options. | |
| I have NOVA V's and I am not happy My first suspect for the listening fatigue at loud volumes would be the room acoustics. The issues with the lower end might be related, but I have a feeling they are not be based on my experience. If even after significant room treatments (hard to... | |
| Streamer Recommendation. I'd recommend looking at Lumin, and also echo the suggestion of Auralic. | |
| What Neutral Means in Reviews & Our Discussions? Are We Confusing Tame/Flat For Neutral? I typically use neutral to refer to the (anechoic) frequency response being flat. And would use additional different words to describe other aspects of how something sounds. | |
