600hrs on the DeVores now and they’ve really morphed. Sounding great. Some harshness I was hearing earlier has evaporated. The soundstage and imaging are beautiful after a lot of repositioning including rotating my entire room 90°. They’re around 32” from the front wall now, 8’ apart and 9.5’ from my ears which are just above cabinet height. Lots of improvement here. Added a better Mojo Audio DAC too (what a gem). Added a lot of room treatment.
I’ve squeezed about as much out of this current room config as I can and I’m not hearing what I want to. Next step is the 90° rotation game and modifying acoustic treatments to whatever degree my wife will tolerate.
I’m really happy with the Mojo digital front end. I built it up one top end piece at a time and it’s become an anchor in my system. Benjamin @Mojo is a good guy.
I feel fairly certain my room is not working well. I spent 5-6 hours auditioning well broken-in 0/96s with a Leben 300 which is not much of a departure from my Decware Torii IV. The sound was quite nice. I’m trying to be patient and settle in for a few months before I consider changes. I may rotate my room 90° to try sitting and listening with different geometry.
