A comparison between two DACs, one R-2R, the other ES 9038-based.
I also very rarely write or post although I have read daily for 25+ years on various forums and have quite an array of “things”.Emcdade hit it on the head.  My sentiments exactly, w/o being snotty and/or condescending... Really.  😉 Enjoy.

Suggestions short 3' tall floorstander?
I would take a look at Tekton Designs speakers. A whole lot of bang for the buck. For that price point(or a lot less), Mr. Alexander makes some fine products. No interest at all, other than a very satisfied customer. He's a nice guy to deal with t...

What is a minimum room size for 1.7 Maggies?
I run 3.6's too in a 13 X 18 X 8 room with McCormack DNA-500 and SVS Ultra sub and it's fine. I have major room tune stuff on front/back walls. My system will energize the room, that's for sure. I agree with Arh, you should be fine.Rootman
