@jacupmakeup Thanks for the comments. Can I ask what size room you have? I am always concerned about overwhelming my 12.5x11’ room with too much bass. On the other hand, the QLN’s are tad light in that department.
New DAC or New Speakers?
I’m planning to blow some money on my system and can’t decide if I should upgrade my DAC or my speakers. I’m going all in on one or the other, not both.
I have ethernet and fiber optic switches feeding a Lumin U2 mini modded with an external power supply. Two USB reclockers going into an LTA Aero DAC. Running a VAC Sigma 170 tube amp to Harbeth SHL 5+ XD speakers with a sub.
Everything sounds great, and I recommend all said equipment, but I have a chance to make an upgrade. I’m considering swapping the Harbeths for some Devore O96s or swapping the Aero for either a Totaldac, or maybe a used Aries Cerat Helene.
I can’t decide which route to take....

@zlone my room is a lot larger. Maybe reach out to O Audio and ask? That does seem like a tight space for them, but with the bottom-firing bass port maybe it could work. Otherwise, adding a sub might do the trick for you. I'm really happy with my Buchardt S10 sub. It's very slim and would look nice with the QLNs. |
