DAC Streamer Recommendation for ATC Scm20s

[blackiridium]

Minidsp FlexHT, You're probably going to want subwoofers at some point as the ATC 20 is -6db at 55hz

Agreed. The WAF is an issue though. Need to try to find a nice spot for the sub.

Quick question, what do I lose by going with a topping d70 except for the sub out?

Volume control via TV remote and room correction.

I just saw that the BlueSound Node Icon will be coming out. I was wondering if people would recommend that over the MiniDsp Htx for my usage case? It seems to check all the boxes for me; balanced out, eARC, etc etc

It would be hard for a measurement-centric community such as this to recommend a device that doesn’t have published measurements yet.

I would also consider the miniDSP Flex Balanced, or Flex HTx.

Was just about to suggest the HTx

I actually have my HTx in hand! This bluesound device sounds really interesting though.

Ah yes - just noticed I replied to an old post

FWIW, backed up to a wall the 20s will have greatly improved bass response via boundary effect. I'd highly encourage this.
