Why I sold my $50,000 DAC ...

I have a bag of Gummies I like how they come in different colors...

So is there a recommended color for each music type? Blue for Jazz, yellow for Pop, red for Rock, green for World, black for Heavy Metal?

@liquidsound Couldn't have said it better!

@kirk9 I really wish that was the case. 

I'm gonna say it - room treatment is kinda overrated. Sure, it can make a good system sound bad, but it cannot save a bad system. That initial sound wave to reach your ear is what really counts. If that sounds off, no amount of wall, floor or ceiling treatment can correct that.

True.  My setup would not pass muster for most here but it sounds great.

When I had my system in Virginia (same system as now here in Florida), the only difference is the room.  We retired here to a smaller home with an equally smaller listening space.  Ie...  15 X 18 ft then versus 10 X 12 ft now.  In Virginia, it took me the better part of a year to get the room acoustics sounding right with different amounts and placement of attenuation and diffusion.  When I was finished, I could discern switching out any electronics or cabling and their sonic nuances.  I couldn't really do that without the room treatments.  I have challenges now discerning those nuances in equipment much less cabling.  Yes...  The room size is quite different, and that attributes some to the acoustics.  I have not yet gotten the room treatments/speaker placement sorted out yet, but every little bit I do is getting me better sound.  So, I'm a firm believer in getting the acoustics/placement right for the best sound possible in my new space.  In my opinion, exotic upgrading can't be appreciated without proper acoustic balance in the listening room.
