Agree with both both ron adamdea and phil here , but I'm slumming with -3dB 20Hz at my listening position I could fix that by towing the sub closer to a wall but it would make integration harder . There is really no piont in the 10k$ dac before your speakers cover 20-20k you miss a lot information in the recordings a lot . The key is well integrated subwoofer. On the original Q if front end means digital transport ? : No It's a solved problem use any source of lossles digital audio to a decent dac , done. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
