Hello all, I am currently using an Audioengine D1 to a Schiit Lyr2, with preamp out to my Audioengine A5+'s. I find the sound to be boxed in/limited. Should I replace my speakers or my DAC? If yes, any suggestions for speakers? I have a Schiit Gungnir DAC in mind, or the Marantz HD-DAC1. Any...

Hello, I recently added a tube preamp to my setup, the Schiit lyr 2. I am using it with my Audioengine D1 and A5+ as a whole system. I have noticed that the sound has become more muddy, the soundstage reduced, and it lost some of its airiness. If I remove the Lyr 2 the sound is much clearer and...

Any recommendations for powered desktop speakers then?

Hello, I have recently bought new cables for my A5+'s and D1, and I have been using them for 2 days. I am using Wireworld Luna for speaker wire, Solstice for RCA, Starlight for USB, and an Audioquest NRG-1 as AC cable. I feel that the highs are very harsh, and that the background is quite noisy...

Also, has anyone used the Nordost Purple Flare power cable and the Audioquest NRG-1? Which sounds better?

Thank you all for the help!

Hello I have auditioned B&W, Totem and PMC speakers and somehow it feels like that the sound is coming from the ceiling instead of the speakers, as if there was no speakers. It totally feels like listening live. Currently I am using an audioengine D1 to a pair of A5+'s and I can't seem to...

Also, if you use the PMC fact.8 for home theatre, which amplifiers would be good? Marantz, Onkyo, Denon, Yamaha? Or do you have any other recommendations? I watch movies 40% of the time and listen to music 60%.

Also, does anybody know any PMC dealers in Vancouver, BC, Canada? Or in Seattle or Bellingham, Washington?

Hey guys! I have a question for you. I am considering the PMC Fact.8's and the B&W 804D's, which is better? I listen to music 60% of the time, and movies 40% of the time. Also I am considering using Onkyo, Marantz, and Denon to use as amps. Do you guys have any other recommendations for amps to...

My budget is $500-$1,000, more or less is fine.

Preferably powered monitors, because I will be using them as computer speakers.
