    Hi guys, I've been using the DCA expanse for awhile, currently the chain is Matrix x-sabre pro mqa->AHB2->zynsonix_headphone_switch. Fully balanced. It's clean and clear for sure, but it's alot to live with in my cubicle (now full time on site) I'm hoping if there is an all in one...

    Been itching to setup the 4367 in the house, but with the delay in getting the cutting boards to setup the right size platform, I just couldn't wait and put it near field right in front of everything to try out. Behind it are the sopra n2 and klipsch forte iv, both are unbelievable high...

    I am considering the next upgrade to be one of these 2 speakers. They are audiophile speakers, but deeply rooted in pro audio methodology. The 2" compression driver in S3900 vs the 4" in S9900 would probably my biggest consideration. The price is obviously ridiculous for s9900, and high...
