Actually, I have bluetooth on my laptop as well, Would there be any benefit with the Topping E30 ?Ps, the Apt-X Bluetooth will do a great job of streaming from your phone until you get a streamer.
Thanks

How far apart are the speakers, and how far is your seating position from the speaker plane?
I’d also suggest giving yourself some time (many hours) getting used to the nuances of the new sound.
It does definitely take a while to get the brain focused on what’s going on, most especially with new speakers.
Placing some additional support beneath the speakers is far more likely to affect bass than treble. The exception might be if the extra support helped 'aim' the tweeters at your ears.Treble seems a little lacking with CD's, to my ears it is better through bluetooth, should I put something under speakers or ???

Well @Paul7777xYes. The E30, or another good dac will improve upon Bluetooth noticeably.
The USB in put on the Topping is excellent.
Its not that Bluetooth is bad, but that the Rotel and Oberon can make better quality sound from non compressed files that are rendered less ‘noisily’, for want of a better word.
For instance, even Spotify at 320 is appreciably better over a USB output from the laptop to a decent dac than it ever can be by Bluetooth.

One month on and all is asexpectedhoped for.
Delighted with it, have recovered a lot of missing treble by lowering the bass. I actually didn't expect such lows from these speakers so obviously it was overpowering everything else.
Next for the DAC,
You suggested the Topping E30, while I don't doubt your suggestion in any way, I have a question. Does it do MQA ?
Reason being is I have a few streaming accounts, Tidal hifi ~ Deezer Hifi ~ Youtube.
I Mainly use Deezer but at time use Tidal, I am literally wondering which one is best by streaming from Laptop and iphone, ( I assume Iphone can be plugged into the E30?
Alternatively, I was looking at the IFI Zen dac V2.
I don't mind spending an extra few £/€ to get better, though from what I am reading and trying to understand that more expensive can lead to diminishing returns.

Well @Paul7777x
I am ready to buy the dac.
Have you had any time to take a look at the above post?
Thanks
