(I do not want to be deaf, so it is not about reference – level listening. I simply want to be sure, the loudspeakers have all the backups they need to sing as good as it possible.)
The dedicated room I would use in is small, 17x14x9 (LxWxH), and would use my setup for stereo and multichannel listening as well.
If anyone has any idea, please share with me!
Thanks!

I had a ma9000 for a while and liked it very much. It’s a great unit. The built in DAC worked flawlessly.
My ONLY complaint was the “equalizer.” I’m a proponent of tone controls, but I found the equalizer to be kind of frustrating (at least for me). I found myself constantly tweaking, and it was always kind of a guess. If you can live with that, I’d go with the 9000.
