Schiit Mini loko+

First, you determine what the issue is. Then you determine how to fix it w/o using a band aid. This can be with room treatment, speaker placement, component upgrade, etc. Adding another electronic box to the signal chain is not my idea of fixing anything.

I could have not said it better.

EQ to fix problem BAD

Roll tubes to fix same problem GOOD

So much conventional bollocks. If it is desirable then do it to it. The Loki has bypass making you only at the mercy of your cabling.

I think it’s an excellent idea. 

Hi everybody and thanks for the suggestions.

I feel guity to have withheld salient information. The problem to cure is a +6dB increase in the frequency response  between 1200 and 6300Hz as estimated from using the Stereophile Test Record 3 and a Radio Shack SPL meter (on a highly reviewed speaker). As said above, the DSPengine of the JRiver software takes care of the problem - my guess was that the Loki could work as well, given its particular characteristics. My bias is that a 6dB difference (equal to 4 times the acoustic energy) over such a broad frequency range is beyond any room treatment or similar. This apart from the fact that other speakers such as the Piega Coax 10.2 or the Gallo Ref 3.5 sound and measure perfectly ok in the same room.

The question really is, whether anybody with a decent analog rig has personal experience with the Loki+ and an idea about whether switching it in has any audible consequences apart from those the Loki is designed to perform. .

At the price of the Loki+ I think it is a no-brainer; I just have to try it. After all a new Loki is of the order of 0.3% of the new value of my living room rig....
