    Yes Af only has a balanced jack. Unless my LCD-3s sell on HF before the meet, I have a balanced cable that should fit the 2Cs.

    I can probably make anything except 6-7th.

    I can bring:

    DNA Stratus
    Custom MisterRogers DAC
    HD650 stock and HD800 with SDR for headphones

    Maybe SFD-1 but I'm thinking MisterRogers DAC since I'm curious how it compares to the Yggdrasil.

    Let's set the date for the 14th, 1pm-7pm then. Sorry @Vansen :(

    As always, bring power strips and extra interconnects incase we need them. I'll bring some cds to compare @Boops CDP with the Eitr.

    @Dr. Higgs Do you have a 4.4mm to 4-pin XLR adapter? Would like to try the Clear with the 1A and ZX300.

    This coming weekend would have been better but should be able to make 1/14. Not sure what I will own by then but will bring what I got.

    Yeah, I have a cheapo adapter, but should get the job done.

    Did a similar CD comparison with @SteelCannon but with Gen-5 USB in my Gungnir Multibit. Looking forward to hearing what you think.

    @thegunner100 Can't make them all. I have couple of setups you can borrow if you want that have decent synergy.

    Grace SDAC > MD Cavalli LCX > HE-500

    And my top pick for a budget setup:
    Modi Multibit > MCTH > HD650

    Hi all... can a noobie join as well?

    If it arrives in time, I can bring a LCD2C to compare to the other(s) for variance, and a HD800S, as well as an unmodded HD650 (very curious to hear the difference with a modded one!).

    Sure, should be no problem. Just be warned that this meet will probably spoil you and ruin your wallet :p

    Just a starting point for those new to meets:

    Also! If you guys have headphone stands, please bring them as well. I'll bring some shelf liners that we can also use to place headphones on, instead of the bare table.

    Rule number 15: do not wear any hair product that will rub off on a headband.

    My last major hobby with meet-ups was wine-tasting... That empty-wallet feeling is one I'm all too familiar with. :)

    LOLZ! If any women are considering coming, just know there will be at least one gay guy there to fend off the gawkers.
