Music first or sound first?
It's always the "sound" to start, but it doesn't last long. I started out listening to the sound until I got my system where I wanted it. These are some of the honest feedback. I am in the same boat. I think that many  audiophiles feel that... 
Oppo 205 with Parasound JC-1s
Alright then. Lets close this post, since you questioned yourself and then provided yourself the answer 😁  
Music first or sound first?
I am both equally. Being very honest here - I have found that as the music system gets better, I have started liking genres of music that was "meh" to me before. It may be the age - who knows. But I like the eargasms my system is able to provide. ... 
If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?
Thanks for the details @emergingsoul . I was under the impression that you did not have any panels and had set up your system in such a way that it sounds amazing, as-is. I was trying to understand the context of your post. I think however good t... 
Listening position/speaker position
Agreed with what others have said. I have read about a setup that divides room into 3 X 1/3. Place the speakers at the 1/3 mark (roughly 8 feet) from front wall and you sit on the 1/3 mark from the back wall. For the 15 feet width room, you might ... 
If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?
@emergingsoul , Thank You for the complements. But that did not help, because seeing makes a difference and helps understand better, at least for me. And you did not mention anything about your room size, treatments, etc. I do have Carpenters and...

@emergingsoul , Why don't you post your system pics and show how it is done? Maybe we all can learn something from you!  
OPpo 205.... Awesome !!
One thing about the Oppo is future LASER replacement. Question - does a laser go bad if unused? I have NOT used the laser in my Oppo UDP-205 since I have been using it as a DAC since July-2020. Since 2020 July, I use the laser only once a year ... 
How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits
@mahgister , No one bashed any Chinese products. The discussion was how they effectively copy products and sell them blatantly as the same brand. If they were selling as a duplicate brand name, example Sharp Vs Shrap, then that would be different... 
15k for streamer and dac....how much on each?
@jaxwired , how much of a difference do you find between the SMSL and the Wyred4Sound DACs that you own? Which one do you prefer?  
How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits
The government of China does not recognize international patent laws and some people take advantage of this. They way "Copyrights" work is China - we have the rights to copy 😄  
Considering a Backert Rhythm 1.4, talk me out of it
Go for the new Rhythm 1.4. Get some NOS Mazdas and be mesmerized. Have fun!  
Room Acoustics, minimal treatment and measurements
Nicely done!! I agree - most people are better off treating their rooms and keeping their existing loudspeakers. Most folks assume that their loudspeakers are not compatible with their room and keep searching for a better one. I found that if we t... 
Hurray for Wadax!
Yay! And it only costs $45k 😁 I'm surprised other manufacturers haven't offered us this option with their CD players. My Oppo does all those discs. And now there are newer players as Oppo's replacement. So I am not sure what you meant.
