Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?

DAC/Pre-Amp Advice
@chuck_tamu  Its a little hard to pin it down. I believe it did clean up the noise.  The music was clearer with more detail and a blacker background. I was pleasantly surprised at the result myself.   
DAC/Pre-Amp Advice
@chuck_tamu  An external LPS for the node would be a noticeable upgrade and leave you with enough money for a nice stand alone DAC.   
Using streaming as a main source ---DSD, FLAC, MQA Streamers and DACS
@kiwiscott  I recommend getting the new blue sound node with an external power supply. It is quite good as a streamer only for about  $1100. That would leave you plenty of cash left over for a stand alone DAC. Good luck!  
room size question.
@bshaw  I had a professional acoustician design my room and I built it while my speakers were being built. Check out my system on my page. 100 percent absorption. I have no reflective surfaces (actually there is no drywall inside the room)   besi... 
A free tweak revisited
Lights down low and eyes closed is the only way I listen. MUCH better !   
Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread...
I say leave ALL posts and threads up. Each morning I see all these deleted posts and wonder what they were. They are just words people and everyone here is of age to ignore whatever offends them. Geez  
Help me make sense of this - Midfi system sounding better hifi.
@gonglee3  Are you using the same room for both systems? If not that could be your answer why the midfi sounds better than the Hifi. The room is the most important component.   
room size question.
@bshaw  As @jond mentioned you might try a corner set up. My 2 channel set up is a corner set up in a room not much bigger than yours. Excellent soundstage and image. Good luck!   
Changes in my life, new system, need new speakers
+1 Focal Kanta 1!   
Wilson to Tekton to ????
@bill_peloquin  Get some Rockport speakers and you won’t ever get that itch to try something else again. Happy listening !  
Qobuz dropping rights to my favorites. A pox on their house.
@christianb5s4  Sounds good.  Happy listening !  
Qobuz dropping rights to my favorites. A pox on their house.
@christianb5s4  I believe you have to go into the Qobuz app to do any modifying. I’m using BluOS and the only thing I can do is save to favorites. Unless I just don’t know how to do it. I would love to be able to delete, modify etc right in the B... 
Best amp for Salon 2
@ac24  25k is a nice budget. You should have many top quality amps to choose from. The Boulder 866 int is an amazing amp. 200 watts into 8ohms doubles to 400 watts at 4 ohms. Drives my 4 ohm speakers with ease. Good luck!   
Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K?
@essrand  My apologies
