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've never owned a lossy-capable DAP before, any tips or general suggestions to get the most out of it?
Some Suggestions: Philips SHP-9500S (Open Backed, Cheap, Comfy) Audio Technica ATH-M40x (Closed Back, Relatively cheap, benefits from a pad swap) Massdrop x Hifiman HE 4XX (Open Back, Planar Magnetic driver type, comfy and really fun sound) Massdrop x Pinnacle PX IEMs (In-ear monitors, MMCX replaceable cables, plenty of ear tips, great price)
I hope you have some good luck. Audio quality is something that scales the better the parts of the pipeline become.
I'll check out the models you've listed and see what I can eventually buy towards. I'm pretty excited to listen to familiar favorites in a higher quality.
Also, I've founding watching headphone/equipment reviews from the likes of Z Reviews, and DMS3 TV, Inner Fidelity, and Steve Guttenburg, (all on Youtube) helpful with choosing/upgrading/enjoying my audio gear.
