To me, room treatment is analogous to messing with various curtains. Some curtains will make the room more shady, some will make it more bright etc. But essentially all the objects in the room still remain visible. It is just the matter of personal preference that dictates how bright or soft a lighting you prefer. The actual audio components (such as your source, your amplification, your augmentation of the sound) basically dictate what 'objects' will be present in your room. Without these components working properly, you can keep treating your room till the cows come home, nothing will magically emerge in it if it hasn't already been placed in there. A small change in how you convert the digital signal to analog may reveal lots of hidden details, which is analogous to bringing a pile brand new objects into the room. How are you going to now expose those objects is a matter of taste, as you do your speaker placement/room treatment. None of that, of course, matters one bit the moment you put your headphones on. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82520 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
