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.

I have the dc-1 feeding an Emotiva A-100 Bas amp, and using this amp for my headphone power. I have applied the jumpers on that amps ( see Emotiva manual, page 11) , and now I am routing all 50 watts of power to the headphones,.. holly shit!!1 u have to turn that dial on the amplifier very slowly and I cant pass 9 o'clock on the volume dial in fear of frying my headphones and my ears. the se out of the dc-1 provides amazing sound quality. I am using the USB input from my pc to play Spotify, and omfg,....the Sennheiser HD 650 & HD 600, the Hi-Fi man HE 400I, AND 350, AND THE AKG7XX, AND THE MONOLITH 1060 AND 560 & 565 ALL SOUNDED AMAZING.
THAT'S TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA ON ALL THE HADPHONES I HAVE TRIED WITH THIS COMBINATION. THIS DC-1/A-100 BAS X PUT MY SCHIIT JOTENHEIM TO SHAME,....
I did join the MD on the cavalla LCX will see how it does but I am more then confident that my current setup would come on top, with any dedicated headphone amp. the sound is amazing, clear, detailed, strong, with excellent sound stage and mind blowing clarity. check out the Z review ( https://youtu.be/LKgA6qyOCWQ ) on this bas x Emotiva amp. I think the combo can run u 550-575 but it will be the last ha amp/dac u will ever buy, period.
DC-1 and Jotunhiem is now on my list.. Too hard to decide esp if you have limited budget..
