Daaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmnnnnnnn. What did you think of the DT1990? I'm in the same bought and returned camp as you - I just couldn't get past the clamping pressure, and I found vocals to be really fatiguing.

Revel F208
Minidsp SHD (although I was an existing Minidsp c-dsp user before ASR)
...soon to be purchased Purifi based amp

 

[Rick Sykora]

Bought an Amazon Fire Stick 4k based on forum thread.

This allowed me to add Amazon Music HD to an older AVR and is good enough in my home theater that likely will not upgrade unless the AVR dies!

Revel m105 speakers, they are sublime.

 

[davide78]

Elac DBR 62 speakers
Art DJ-pre II phono preamp

A pair of Arundel subs that iv stacked in a corner , maybe thats something for a sub thread as from all my reading here over the years I hadn't hear about that configuration before .

Hypex FA123 amplifiers, based on favorable review of the standalone modules. That was a good decision, brilliant technology.

My answer has been updated from "nothing yet" to Gustard X16 DAC and Topping A90 headphone amp.

 

[Sprint]

Genelecs active speakers, Topping d10s, Raspberry PI 4, miniDSP 2x4 HD with Dirac (DDRC24), Tempotec Sonata Headphone DAC/Amp, Sony MDR ZX-110 headphones

Ha! I have the Topping D10s, and I got a Raspberry Pi 4 as a Roon endpoint, and my next big purchase will be Genelec active speakers for my desktop listening. I'm following in your footsteps!!!

Genelec is amazing. If you can go for 83XX models, the GLM is worth the price. Here is my set up. You can start with stereo and one can extend it to multichannel later. For me, it is an end game.

Beautiful set up! I'm considering these for my desktop so 2.1 is all I would need since it will be for my computer. I'm thinking about the 8330 model with GLM. I'd love to consider the 8331's but that is a big jump up in price. Thanks for sharing your set up!

Curious to what degree people use ASR reviews and feedback from the ASR community before buying gear.

For me personally I picked up a JDS Atom, a Topping D30 and a MOTU audio interface based on reviews. The newly reviewed Revel speakers look tempting as well, of course I have no need for them whatsoever.

Topping D90, Topping A90 and Revel M16 speakers.

 

[DtoA]

Topping E30
Schiit Modius
MiniDSP Umik-1
More acoustic treatments

Waiting for next gen DSP

Revel M105
When I decided to upgrade my stuff a few years back the Revel M16 was one of three speakers top of my list. I got a screaming good deal on an ATC SCM7 v.3 which was above budget at that time. Paid under $1,000 new shipped from the UK to California, so went with that.
Nice to see the PS Audio Stellar S300 Amp I bought to push the ATCs recommended by the Boss (amirm)
Certainly enjoying the M105s

PS - Planning to purchase Benchmark AHB2 some time this year.

 

[mash]

Office system:
D90, Purify Eval-1 amp, Revel M105s

other Roon endpoints: (ASR contributed to my decision to go with Roon)
2 RPi 4 streamers, one D10S
MA audio Mini-i 3Pro
Allo Boss 2 streamer/DAC

other:
Art DJ-pre II phono preamp

 

[Matias]

Add Meizu Hifi DAC to my list.

 

[Martin]

Add a pair of JBL 306P MKII and a Topping D30 Pro to mine.
