Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

Edit: I stream lossless through tidal so I use my iPhone 7 and am wondering what a good dac/amp combo under $500 for portable use would be best for sensitivty iems. New fiio q5 mark iii for $350 that is made for iPhones like the Q1 Mark II($99) or should I get the chord mojo but may not work as seemless with no Headphone jack iPhones i heard that camera lightning to USB adapter for iPhones no longer work with ios11
Personally, I would stay away from the Fiio Q5 simply because it is too new. If you take a look at the forums on the fiio website there are a lot of irritated customers whose X5iii, X7, X7ii or X3iii doesn't work the way it's supposed to. Fiio's standard answer is that it will work in a future firmware version. Some issues have dragged on for over a year with no foreseeable solution. That said, I have no experience with the new Q5 but it just seems that lately they tend to be premature to market and slow to fix issues that should never have been a problem in the first place.
Good luck!
