This is not an either or situation. I have a 120 dB SINAD DAC and room EQ (Dirac) together. For stereo listening, you can use different EQ solutions or do it manually as I have partially shown in my speaker reviews. All you need is a parametric EQ to make a few bass corrections and a good speaker.And now we have to ask ourselves if we prefer a two channel dac with a SINAD of 110 dB, or a multichannel dac (11 channels) with RoomEq but a SINAD of “only” 99db. Or even only 90db. (I know we would all say “a multichannel dac with a SINAD of 115db” but there isn’t one available...)
What’s more important? What’s audible and what’s not? Should we tone down the ranting against AVR’s
For movies and multichannel, automatic systems are much faster and easier to use. And use of advanced audio decoders is mandatory so an AVR fits there.
