Have been watching this thread interested in the HTx. Have had it for a couple days now. Have it paired with a Buckeye 3 channel Purifi 2nd gen, Q Acoustics front 3, SVS sb1000 (3.1 only) and a Win 11 PC that I use a source. In the PC I have a Sound Blaster AE9 with Sparkos 3602s which I think sounds amazing on 2 channel. I was worried the sound would be diminished by adding this in the chain. Happy to report that to my ears it doesn't, transparent. As measured, what goes in comes out the same. Thank you to the testers and moderators for making this resource available. This heavily influenced my decision to get this processor-- and the Buckeye. Couldn't be happier. Thanks
