My new speakers

Women tend to have much better hearing... if you can get them to care / pay attention. If the subwoofers are too loud... that is exactly what I have heard in the past... slightly bigger sound stage with compromised detail. When I upgraded my speaker last time I got rid of the subwoofers. I like the complete coherence without them. 

So my friend Joseph brought his Wadax Atlantis DAC to my house last night. In my system/room this is the most analog, non-digital sounding DAC I've heard. I want a chance to hear a MSB and Playback Designs DAC prior to making any decisions on replacing my Chord Dave.

THE SCHIIT YGGDRASIL DAC - Everything I have purchase from SCHIIT has been a "STONE COLD BARGAIN" Unequaled performance vs. price. They also have a return policy. You can't really go wrong.

OP, I bet that Wadax Atlantis DAC sounded great! I look forward to hearing what your choice it.

I have to agree that the Schiit Yggdrasil is a good sounding DAC for the money. I have one in my office system. But, maybe you are not aware that the YG Acoustics Sonja 3.3s list for over $150, 000. I think perhaps a higher end DAC might be a more appropriate match.  

Those speakers cost more than my first house.  Can you cook on them?  Just kidding.  Congrats and enjoy the ritual of positioning them just right.
