The first sound company I worked for had Flag "Hi-Fi" boxes.  Two 18's, 3 12's, a 2" compression driver and two bullet tweeters, all in one box,  I don't miss moving those things around.

@tonyrox  I bet the S4's were painted black very slippery and we had to pyrmid

them to stack them up, then another i don't remember their name but the used straps with clips that went into the handles on each side to fly them in the air.

You reported that the 'cheap' ADA had over 20 channels.  Can you recall how many output channels were in use?

I’m not a measurement snob by any means but I would surmise a 300k dac is in some ways pretty “colored”. At 300k it better sound different.
