My Setup

[EddNog]

Not sure if I ever posted my setup here; at this point, since I’ve basically end-gamed, figured this is as good a time as any to finally post my setup.

WiiM Ultra playing Qobuz as well as my local library on attached USB storage.
DSPeaker Anti-Mode X2D for bass management and also room correction
Topping D90 III Discrete DAC to convert the digital out from the DSP to my speakers
Topping B200 monoblocs to drive my pair of
KEF LS50 Meta standmounts
SVS 3000-Micro subwoofer

I have the subwoofer placed dead center and then crossed over with the speakers at 110Hz and volume-set in such a manner to create a, “natural Harman curve,” without having to rely in any way on tone control to do so.





Did the best I possible could with speaker placement and subwoofer phase adjustment to minimize the nulls (image is just for response representation—I am not actively using the WiiM’s EQ/RC):

Similar set up to yours, in terms of: 1) KEF LS50 meta (I have used Sonus Faber Lumina II for 2 years, but just got the Metas and not looking back); 2) DSPeaker X2 (the most consistent device in my set up - unbeatable for room correction at the price point). My amp is a Yamaha A-701 - excellent IMO. I also have a Fiio R2R DAC which I use occasionally.

Streamer: I've had many, and I currently use the Ultra and a Cambridge Audio mxn10 (why don't they use easier names, such as Henry or Bill, I don't understand). I often switch between the two's trying to make up my mind on which one I prefer - Ultra has a better app and a superb search function, Cambridge a better DAC and overall sound, and plays DSD's. Ultra RC is to me a big let down, it never sounded right. Maybe with time they will improve it, but it hasn't happened yet.
