Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

I would suggest that the $400 be spent on something more valuable such as a good pair of IEMs or a good headphone. The player matters the least. What matters more is the source audio (well mastered audio files) and the monitors you are using (IEMs, headphones, loudspeakers). As long as you have an acceptable DAC and an amp powerful enough to make full use of the speakers or headphones you are using, you should concentrate more on what I have written here.
I used that money to save up for a HiFiMAN HE-500 and it gives me an amazing listening experience compared to simply getting a better DAP.
