clio09, In my last post I stated I had some comments and questions concerning your last post and your numbered clarifying descriptions of your system and future actions and plans. Here’s your post with my comments and questions added:"@noble100 if... 
Oppo 103 comparison with an Ayre Codex
Hello dbphd,     Excellent points!      While the Oppos ending with a 3 are very good units with very good dacs, the Oppos ending with a 5  provide better audio because they have even better dacs and are specifically designed with the goal of prov... 
Oppo 103 comparison with an Ayre Codex
Hello whitestix,     I actually was online with the intent of buying a 205 when I had trouble finding a seller with any units left in stock.  I signed up on a waiting list on the Oppo website for a unit from a supposed final production run but was...

 Helloclio09,          My perspective is that the DBA concept is one of several solutions for those looking to add or improve bass response in the 20-200 Hz range in their systems.  You're correct that I have a certain devotion to the DBA concept ...

clio09:"My subs were built a while back, mijostyn helped me set them up for optimal performance in the line array. His subs have quite a large footprint, as do his speakers which are probably the best Acoustat model in my opinion. They line array ...

Hello clio09,     Wait a minute.  What's your plan?I thought your plan was switching to a line array with larger subs. Four new subs using 10" drivers sounds like your planning a dba.Tim

Hello clio09,     I'm very impressed with mijostyn's linear/line array sub system and I've never even heard one in a home system, although I'd love to.       I'm also very interested in in your bass system build with your Acoustats that mijostyn i... 
Oppo 103 comparison with an Ayre Codex
whitestix, Good idea but don’t hold your breath. The 105 is like a high quality swiss army knife. It’ll play almost any video or audio disc (CD,SACD, CDROM, DVD, DVDA, BLURAY), it’s a surround sound processor, add external amps and it’s an ultra ...

Hello mijostyn,     I’m running all 4 subs in mono with a xover frequency between 40-50 Hz and a filter slope of 12 db/octave, usually configured for a 40 Hz xover for music and 50 Hz for ht. My main speakers are Magnepan 2.7QRs that each have a 6...

mijostyn:"Oh, and Tim. I am not saying that in certain situations a DBA system may not be the easiest way to reasonable bass performance. It may work reasonable well for many people. What I am saying is that in the end it will not produce the most...

Hello m-db,     Thanks for the additional info.  I do understand your point about subwoofer DSP room correction differing among manufacturers as well as differing by version from the same manufacturers.     I only have limited sub DSP room correct...

mijostyn:" I can not believe people are so far off on the subject of time and phase. Time and phase are intimately related. wire two of your subs backwards and see what you get. That is 180 degrees out of phase."Hello mijostyn,     It seems we sti...

Hello khiak,  I just sent you a personal message.  You should see a 'dialogue bubble' icon on the upper-right side of your screen, next to the 'shopping cart' icon.  Just click on that and my pm should show. Click on my pm and I think you can hit ...

Hello khiak,     Well, you certainly have some excellent and expensive audio equipment in your system.  My system is a starter system in comparison to yours but I still believe my knowledge and experience with 4-sub distributed bass array (DBA) sy...
