Refreshing system with DMP-A6 (or A8 :) )

[Purité Audio]

The Beresford dacs are so very poorly designed,

Beresford TC-7520 Review (DAC)

This is a quick review and measurements of the Beresford TC-7520 USB Stereo DAC. It is on kind loan from a member. Seems like it was released back in 2009 at a cost of US $249. I like the look and feel of the TC-7520 with instant random access to inputs: Being an older design it is...

Bad enough to actually sound different.

Yes, i saw this once and this also triggered full refresh of system instead of replacing only amplifier. I owe ASR so many times.

OMG. I felt strong booming with very low electrical base and here it is. I was expecting the 1st measurement will be horror and it is. I'm regretting I measured it. haha.
Room size is 4.32 x 3.55 x 2.29m

I had been thinking...
"Why would people need so expensive speakers? Stupid!"
Now I'm very stupid.

"Why do people need separate power amplifier? Aren't they happy with reasonable integrated amplifier?"
Now I have power amplifier.

"Why do people buy subwoofers? Aren't 2 speakers for stereo enough at all?

Now...this is on the way...

I feel some hope that subwoofer might be able to give certain forgiveness against room mode....wow..

I was thinking if it was right decision to take DMP-A8 instead of A6. Also for subwoofer. Yes, I (hope) did the right thing!

In my case, I could make deep and peak a little better under 150Hz by rotating Arendal sub by 90 degree

and using as frontfire.
