    Hi emergingsoul ,thanks for the compliments. I just use the Bluesound as a streamer .I bypass its' dac to the Auralic Vega dac. I agree that the Bluesound by itself is an inferior device in my system but the Auralic Vega raises the SQ level by quite a bit. I subscribe to Qobuz and I am very happy with their music service.Much better SQ than Spotify .

    honeyooi,

    We moved into a new house and I thought I built the perfect room. (I never knew that a square room could be a bad thing!) Initially the room sounded HORRIBLE!   Unlistenable.
    Yes, the GIK panels were critical to correcting all that was bad with the room.
    I was skeptical that a square room with echoes,reflections, flutters and other anomalies could ever be saved.
    The room sounds great now. 
    Best to you.
