Well thought I would share my experience with a new Mark Levinson DAC and placement of my center speakers.
I received my ML 360S Dac and sat down for a good listen. I pick piano classical music as I feel piano shows everything a system can and should do.
Well, the center image was not there like it was with goldmund digin I had before nor like when I put the lexicon 12b in to 2 channel stereo. It was slightly right of center so much so that I had to get out of my seat to make sure the left speaker was on.
I immediately checked all connections, switching digital inputs to test if it was the input, outputs, everything under the sun, but everything pointed towards a DAC with a calibration problem.
The second day of suffering after pulling the good feedback on the guy on bought the DAC from, I experimented with the position of the speakers. I didn't think of this as the image was perfect before why would it change.
well toeing out the right speaker a few inches brought the image right to the center where its supposed to be. Like you have to get up from the couch and check the center speaker isn't on.
The ML 360S probably revealed what lesser DAC's didn't and what the exact position of the speaker needed to be.
So JUST THE SLIGHTEST PLAYING AROUND WITH YOUR SPEAKERS CAN SOMETIMES BRING THE LARGEST IMPROVEMENTS TO A SYSTEM.
