Your Desktop Audio Setup?

[thewas]

The system I listen by far the most hours and possibly even my best sounding due to absolute nearfield and the "magic" of LS50:

PC > Equalizer APO (minimal 6 bands negative only PEQ only up to 500 Hz) > Focusrite 2i4 > Rotel A11 Tribute (last project of Ken Ishiwata) > 2x KEF LS50 Meta + 10" active subwoofer (plus some Philips Ambilights)

Just shot the picture now at night where I enjoy some smoot music and ASR when its a holiday on the next day

MMM response around the listening position with 1/12 octave smoothing:

For desk I prefer coaxials. Our heads can move up and down at desk , typing and leaning back etc . Good to have good vertical directivity of coaxials

Update: I replaced my previous setup: the Dirac software solution with a NAD M10 V2 and the Elacs with Q Acoustics Concept 300. A great speaker, highly recommended.

Before and after minor amp upgrade and new streamer - with stellar results. Monitor arm (Ergotron LX) helped a lot freeing up critical space.
Now desk is full...

Dell 7090 desktop to Schitt Modi 2, to Harmon Kardon 330B (complete recap and upgrades a few years back) to Infinity Reference One bookshelf speakers. All files are FLAC, and Music Bee handles the playback. Suits me fine.

How do you like the 330B? I have two AVR630 (second one is a backup) receivers that I inherited from my father, along with his Aperion Audio speakers. I have a Thinkpad X1 & Macbook Pro that are used for both listening and recording, so everything ends up going through the 630. There is definitely a warmth to that receiver that my Pioneer Elite doesn't have.

Music for the entire room, including the desktop (both two desktops), is played by one audio system.

Maybe pretty soon I will be forgetting important dates. Then I could run for Congress.

Congress? A humble Texan?
You qualify for moving into the White House.

I have a PC that streams via Qobuz or Tidal to a Fosi ZD3 and a pair of Dynaudio Bm compact MP3’s. Under the desk is a small Ruark RS1 subwoofer.

Nice. How wide is that monitor? The eternal challenge (for me) is balancing the need for a large monitor with the desire to have an equilateral triangle listening position.

This last weekend was about bringing in a sturdy desk and moving my setup into a new corner of my apartment.

I love those small desktop setups. More pictures please!

Here is my desktop setup.

• NAD M10 V3 (Streamer, Hypex amp, ES9039 DAC, Dirac, HPF, ... All-In-One device)
• Isoacoustic Aperta
• KEF LS50 Meta
• SVS SB-1000 Pro

The sound got better after changing to the 28" Monolith stands with Iso Acoustics Iso-pods under the speakers. I added my Elac SUB1010 to the setup too. I had to move it away from walls / corners, and place it on bricks to avoid unwanted resonances.

I added those LED VU meters under the Infinity speakers, to impress @amirm... just in case, if he drops in!

My current desktop setup: Neumann KH120A + Dual KH750DSP with MA-1 calibration.
It sounds okay, but I am still struggling to eliminate nulls / SBIR

May I ask what brand and model the tablet holder to the left is, and where you got it?
