BJTs have nothing to do with the sound. Just a different kind of transistor.

Yes

No, it can’t . You would need the Okto DAC8 pro version and a digital crossover like the MiniDSP SHD studio or nanodigi.

I’d do the volume control upstream of the dac in the digital domain (I use a Yamaha wxc-50 for this). Also , do you really need 8 channels? If 4 is enough the minidsp SHD is a good solution.

I do both, In my main system I use and Okto Dac8 pro 8-channel dac, in my living room system I use a nanodigi feeding two identical dacs. The main issue with multiple dacs is you need volume control upstream of the nanodigi (you might be able to use the nanodigi for volume control with the...

I don't think you (or anyone) will hear a difference from the DAC but the room correction will result in a substantial improvement.

Any idea why your Klippel measurement is showing just a depressed bass response vs revel's measurement and your nearfield measurement?

I think it's a matter of calibration so that we can compare between measurements done by different parties. Perhaps you can request a sub that has been tested elsewhere and see if the results can be duplicated or see if there is some kind of systematic offset in your mearurements? Thanks Wayne

Really surprised to see no follow up on this.

1) this is a very suboptimal way to connect a sub as the overlap in frequencies will make it harder to achieve a flat response , as the speakers and the sub will likely constructively and destructively interfere at some frequencies 2) A lot of 2-channel equipment doesn't support bass management...

What are your current speakers? Either way get them off the desk and tweeters at ear level.

but speaker stands are more important. My Neumann KH120s sounded terrible directly on my desk but wonderful on desk stands.

Biggest improvement would be speaker stands. After that Genelec 8030c's or Neumann KH120s.

any chance that you could check if the SMLS M300 mk II has this issue?

I can BT stream, spotify connect, airplay, ect to the WXC-50 which I use for volume control.
