Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way?
Looks like we have mentioned every highly rated speaker. I own the Focal Sopra 2’s, they are 8 feet out in the room. I have them on Iso-Acoustics Gaii-1’s footers. I also have in my room ASC tube traps in the corners, Stillpoints Aperture 2’s and ... 
DAC's with volume control question
George,Probably a poor choice of words on my part. I meant to imply that the Lumin X1 volume control is unique and does not loose digital bits in its operation as the other dacs I have used. The volume is controlled by a process called LEEDH. With... 
DAC's with volume control question
Every dac up to my current one (Lumin X1) that had volume capability seemed to reduce detail (reduced bits).ozzy 
Recommendations for Power Conditioner Upgrade From Old Shunyata Hydra 8
dweller,Actually with my Niagara 7000 I found the Hurricane HC power cable sort of tame. My DIY power cable is much better.ozzy 
PS Direct Stream Vs. Wyred 4 Sound Dac.

winsome993,I have not tried tilting the speaker upward but, with the Iso Acoustic Gaii 1 footers they do raise the speaker a little higher than the included footers.samzx12,Perhaps the lower or older model Focal’s could be considered brighter soun... 
Focal Sopra 2
winesome993,I have my Focal Sopra 2's about 8 feet out into the room. I totally agree that you must move them around to find the best spot in your room. All rooms are different as are all speaker's.ozzy 
Leave OPPO 205 powered on?
I being energy $$$ conscious always turn off my components after use, and that would include the Oppo 205.But, I don't think the Laser would remain on if not in use, even if left powered on.ozzy 
Lumin or Aurender
ducks2007,I previously owned the Bryton BDP-2 and I liked it.But sound quality wise the Lumin X1 is way more musical with a depth and width in the soundstage that has too be experienced.I have a 8TB hard drive connected to the Lumin via the usb.ozzy 
Should I Sell My Oppo 203?
I use my Oppo 205 with my HR Firestick. Prime and Netflix looks really great through the Oppo!ozzy 
What is the best order to upgrade a power cable loom? Thanks.
vinylfun,I think your power cord upgrade order is fine. With the power conditioner you will upgrade the sound for most of your equipment, same thing kinda with the preamp.So, as has been stated, larger gauge is probably better (generally) for the ...
