Unfortunately the Teac doesn't have a digital out.Oz 
Vandersteen 5a, 15 years old vs. new Vandersteen Quatro Wood (upgrade or downgrade)
No to your no, where did he say he had them on the short wall ? Well let's consider the long wall option.If he places them 3 ft. from the front wall, that would make his listening position 4 ft. away. Speaks for itself.Not trying to be contrar...

Actually, no to your no.Even only allowing 8" (which is not enough room actually) between the speaker and the sidewall, you can barely spread the 5a any further than 5' apart. That is not optimal by just about any standard.So agree that maybe they...

My room is 15 feet long by 8 and one half feet wide. Well as long as you accept that you get about 60% of any speaker's potential in a room like that, you should be ok.

The only reason I didn't go with a D2 is because I think the DAC would not outperform my MHDT. According to the dealer that sold me the U1 mini, the DAC in the D2 is really only average.Oz

in my 8 1/2 by 15 foot room?  I hope that was a typo. If not, I'd say you are a prime candidate for a headphone only system........Oz

Thanks for all the input. I bought a Lumin U1 mini today. We'll see how things shake out.Oz 
Moving up from a Node 2i

I’m upping the budget and considering the Lumin U-1 mini. Any thoughts?
