ROOM DAMPING - CHOOSING THE CORRECT SUPPLIERS AND MATERIALS
Hey sbank Spencer -  Rearranging the room makes perfect sense but… I can’t do it.  (Never hire an architect with overly contemporary wild ideas.)So the left side wall is 11’ from left front speaker and brick chimney is 15’ from right front (wall 2...

Thank you Mastering92. Can you recommend acoustic panels that you’ve had experience with?  I am forced into near field listening given the room dimensions. So that’s not a problem. I get a lot of reflection off the rear walls 2 feet behind me.

Hilde45 what’s your experience with these products?  RealTraps it’s considerably more expensive - Is there a performance difference that warrants it?  Denser?

Streamer Advice / Recommendation for Denafrips R2R DAC
I got the preamp message loud and clear. (Thanks for the insistence). Now it’s a matter of figuring out how to transition my components from a primarily theater setup (being frank about it) to a primarily music/ theater system. I know little about...

@soix  @jjss49 Took me a moment to process your redirect. If I’m understanding, I should first get the preamp and DAC.   Bypass the Denon. Later on, add a streamer. Correct?I’d be interested to hear your recommendation on a new or preowned preamp.

Read several reviews of the Auralic Aries G1 and revised my thinking (thank you rfnoise).  Storage is quite functional and is used to to reduce chatter.  Who knew?So I'm thinking Auralic Aries G1 feeding Denafrips Pontus is worth the money over bu...
