Put this system together over many years. Recently received the crown of my system, the Tidal Sunray, wow what a speaker.
Will be moving house soon and am planning to get a dedicated room as acoustics are so important. I've sure I'll be able to get a big improvement if I do some work in that area.
Current room size is +- 30f t x 20 ft with a sloping ceiling 15ft to 10 ft.
** update *** Moved to my new house. Finally a dedicated room with a nice high ceiling. New dimensions 21 x 18 ft with the ceiling being 14 ft. Able to do some acoustic treatment here. Sound is nothing short than amazing!!
Maxx1973, I compared XDS-1 and previous model ( CDS-1?), XDS-1 is much refined in mid and high.
Which Tidal electronics you have tried in your system? My friend ordered their top model Pre Amp (Precencio) and Monobloc Amp (Impact), I might have a chance to try them on my system, in maybe 6 months.
If you wanted to add more weight and body without sacrificing details, try Tara Labs IC, PC, & SC, which are currently serving my Tidal Contriva Diacera SE,
I have two BMI Oceanic Statement PCs for my Ayre MX-R power amp, slightly more detail and add more air than Tara Labs, and very neutral as well. I consider they are good neutralizer for Tara Labs.
