Hello everyone!
I am a beginner to hifi and I am trying to create my first system. I have already purchased Triangle BR02 active speakers, which I really liked in the shop, but I have problems with my room.
Also, I am waiting for my Argon Solo streamer to arrive but I have second thoughts that I will explain.
I would like to ask your opinion between the Argon Solo streamer and the WiiM Mini paired with a Topping DAC.
Since Argon Solo doesn't have Tidal Connect, I have to stream it with Chromecast which is 24-bit / 96kHz. With WiiM I can use Tidal Connect and I can compensate for the better DAC of Argon with one from Topping. What is your opinion between these two options?
Also, my room is small and the bass sounds very boomy. I would like to avoid room treatment for various reasons and I am thinking of adding Minidsp Flex to my setup. Would it improve things? Do I also need its microphone and the Dirac Live subscription?
Also, all my surfaces are very reflective. Will a carpet help things regarding low frequencies?
My potential setups are the following:
1)
- TV (optical) --> Active speakers
- Argon solo --> Active speakers (either rca or coax)
2) (can I plug 2 inputs on MiniDSP Flex?)
- TV (optical) -> MiniDSP Flex -> Active Speakers (will I have latency and sync issues?)
- Argon solo (rca) -> MiniDSP Flex -> Active Speakers
3)
- TV (optical) --> Active speakers
- WiiM Mini (optical) -->Topping DAC -> Active speakers (rca)
4) (can I plug 2 inputs on MiniDSP Flex?)
- TV (optical) -> MiniDSP Flex -> Active Speakers (will I have latency and sync issues?)
- WiiM Mini (optical) --> Topping DAC -> MiniDSP Flex -> Active Speakers
If I cannot connect both the streamer/dac and the TV to the MiniDSP Flex, I will not connect the TV since music is a priority by far!
You can find attached an image of my living room for further help.
I would appreciate any comment/advice/suggestion that will help me!
