Yes, the Esoteric is my only source. I don’t have any experience with streaming. Sorry I can’t help you in that subject.

For got to mention, is the Esoteric the only source of playback?  Have you tried streaming? As I mentioned, I thinking of getting a Hegel H190 for my system and using the on board DAC since my listening is strictly HD streaming.

I do have a lot of panels. I sent a drawing of my room to GIK Acoustics and followed their recommendations. I couldn't buy everything at once and keep the wife happy, so I built this over a couple of years. I have added two more bass absorbers since my photos were taken and they are placed on the back wall behind the listening position. The detail has improved with every added panel.

It sounds very good. The Tyler Highland H3.5 can go down to 28hz and the Hegel does a great job taking advantage of that.

Very nice listening room and system. I been interested in trying Hegel. How is the Hegel sounding with the Tylers?

I'm interested in the absorption diffuser panels because I fear if I try to get some I'm going to have to get a lot. I see you have many.

Really love the space. I love the bass traps extended so high. Can you tell me about the GAK absorption diffuser panels which are lovely. I've always debated whether it's a good idea to get these into a room that has a fair amount of furniture and what that will do and interested to know how they impact the room. 

I bet everything sounds really nice, esoteric is really cool too. Don't know too much about the speakers but they look nice.
