Agree 100%

Your experiences mirror mine in every detail. Throwing thousands of more dollars at a system will never achieve the results this simple device can bring, and I shudder to think of the years wasted before I had room EQ. I sold off thousands and thousands of dollars of very ugly room treatment products once I got the DEQ, to the point where I now have none. I eventually moved from the DEQ to completely computer based audio playback, so now use the digital EQ's built into Windows Media Player and itunes - but it was the DEQ that set me right. At $300 only the truly religious won't try it. Short of getting my first pair of quads some 20 years ago, digital EQ is the best thing that's ever happened in my audio life - followed closely by the vast range of music I now listen to nightly via the internet (that's more about music than ultimate sound quality, but nowadays music is all I contemplate, the audio chase is a distant bad memory).

Get a squeezebox and plug it into the DEQ - even with the very comprimized bitrate, you will have reasonably good sound and a vast menu of music to choose from on a nightly basis, even with the DEQ's built in DAC. I've since moved to a USB based DAC the Burwen Bobcat, which sounds even better - but again it was the squeezebox/DEQ combo that opened my eyes - DEQ $300, Squeezebox $200 (or something), the best audio/music bargains on the planet.
