Personally, hard to judge based on curtains, unless you don't mind off the rack measurements. Kim & I engaged a curtain contractor based in JB, pretty good & not high on charges.

Seems so, didn't states clearly for those purchased before 1 May whether they are entitled, ie those bought via BTO etc. Check with HDB for your case. Erm...mine not as awesome as you thought la, just normal setup within our budget range. I had heard far even better than mine, really wow me. My HT settings might not works for you since our placement could be different in our own house. Everything plays a part in it. My Teac got delayed, should be in next Wednesday. What is your budget on your dac?

there are so many DACs out there, it really depends on your taste, what I liked may not be yours. Also, your budget plays a part in it too.You can opt for Oppo105, it is equipped with Sabre dac, 2 in fact, 1 each for stereo & multi channel playback. Aside, there are Benchmark Dac2, Mytek DSD Dac, Teac UD501, NAD M51, Audiolab M-Dac, Musical Fidelity M1 Dac. You got deep pocket, can go for Playback designs, Invicta. Which means you can upgrade your speakers and amp again. Personally I'm using Audiolab M-Dac, pretty decent to me. Imaging & clarity is up to my standard, however, I had ordered Teac 501 to try out due to DSD. If the Teac dac suits well for me, I might sell Audiolab M-Dac, although I do like Audiolab M-Dac. What I like may not be what you like though. You can pop by my place for a listen to my dac if you are keen. Who knows, you might be the buyer of my dac?

How is your networking getting on?

I did AB comparison a few times with my missus, both agreed that it is our best buy for music improvement without even adding DAC into the chain yet. I'm using Sony S790, are you? Do not expect too much from a BRP still, a decent CD/SACD transport like Oppo 105 will far exceeds that even. I tried 8ohm and 16ohm, prefers 16ohm though. Dont really like 4ohm mode, too overpowered to me. In theory, should use 8ohm. You have to set Cayin to "pre-In" mode during the audyssey, if not, can't locate your front speakers. Do note, no need to raise any volume at pre-in, your volume control should be via AVR. Does that mean that you will be getting DAC next?

Alamak, you went in too fast, not such what kind of improvement you are expecting though, Music or HT? Your connection for music & HT are correct. In term of music, just rca connection from source to cayin alone, I hear great improvement compared to my AVR, it is day & night apart. For HT wise, RX6 seems to drive better, more power in action movie & musical for concert. Did you set RX6 to "full band" in your AVR? Also try Triode for HT & Ultralinear for Music.
