After a brown taste from my first McIntosh experience with a MA6900 integrated amp years ago, I decided give a Mac second try, because I, somehow ended up with a D150 DAC totally by an accident. 50 hours into this thing so far as 12/10/2016, I would like to say: it was a great accident! The D150 may not be the most detailed DAC ever in the price range, but it definitely makes music flow. The best part, it is tonally correct, to me. It does string instruments beautifully with delicious decay. The headphone output is not junk like the one in MA6900, is is actually pretty good, it drives my Shure SE846 beautifully but have trouble push my HD800 to full potential. I have almost no complaints on DAC performance. If really nick pick on it, the vocal can be a hair more forward that would be more attractive, to me, YMMV. My digital setup is still in progress, I think i will extract more performance out of D150 when everything is done.
 
I was looking at Wadia DAC too, some review mentioned they are being too dry. D-150 sounds more analog than digital in my setup.

Nice setup!  Have you tried the subwoofer on the floor?

Yes, it's just a small sub with dual opposing 6.5" woofers and there seemed to be issues with blending when it was on the floor. It seems to blend better with the Fostex monitors up on the desk. I don't have measurements to substantiate, just my ears.

Why do you ask?

Just because most folks "recommend" putting it on the floor............when I had a pic up of one of my head fi stations my sub (from a CA 2.1 system) was, like yours, behind my monitors on the desk and a couple folks commented.  After reading up on subwoofer placement it supported their point...............and though on a carpeted floor the sound of my down firing sub was not as prominent it did seem to "fill" the room better.  I put a square board under the sub and it did help make it more clear and sound like it hit harder. 
 
That said, whatever sounds best to your ears is what matters.
