Boomy bass is normally the result of one or both of two things. You might be experiencing peaks in the low frequency response at the listening position caused by modal resonances. Alternatively or perhaps additionally, your speakers might be too close to wall front wall or corners of the room...

The plan is to continue production of the XX-2 MkII alongside the new XX-2A model.

Have a look at the miniDSP SHD and Flex models... https://strictlystereo.com/brand/minidsp/

Your DAC deals with PCM and possibly DSD. It doesn't deal with FLAC. There is another component or subsystem upstream from the DAC that converts FLAC into PCM.

The room I used for my Exposure / Naim comparisons measured approximately 6.5m x 5m x 3.5m. I have listened to the XL6 in the same room and I have compared the XLS and XL6 side-by-side in other rooms. Their voicing is identical, which I think is to be expected. The XL6 goes a bit lower and its...

The Naim kit mentioned above will do very nicely, but let me offer a suggestion based on an experience I had quite early in the life of my business. Neat was the very first brand I took on when I moved my business from selling secondhand Naim equipment to selling brand new equipment from a...

The person you spoke to is almost certainly Zoe, who is fantastic. You have to understand a couple of things before judging too harshly. Exposure is set up to deal with retailers and distributors rather than directly with customers and Zoe's role is not technical support. The preamp you called...
