I'm disappointed the more juvenile corners of SBAF didn't roast A&K for their clearly dick-influenced PEE51 dongle name. Feb 22, 2023

        Stacker has always been special. It is the Glass predecessor. This particular amp was built by Saachi, pretty boutique parts list. Is a killer deal on a fine amp. Not so much CTH - the tube stage in CTH is very different, part of what gives the stacker and liquid glass its magic..dB

        Tempting ! Always wanted to own a stacker. I have heard a somewhat gimped version of stacker and even that was better than EHHA or CTH....

      Prelim testing the Momby's USB vs coax input (using a ratchet-ass USB-to-SPDIF converter). Coax sounds more 'right' to my ears.

        Raspberry Pi with coax hat + Modi Multibit + Vali 2 = the ultimate budget desktop system.

        Yep.. that Raspy+coax HAT is what I'm angling at, Daniel! Thinking about one of those halfway decent XMOS DDC converters that run about $200, as well. I don't think anything more is a worthwhile investment (from a value to performance perspective) for a Modibit. Raspy w/ coax hat is still cheaper (and probably better), I think!

        I haven't. I was quite interested in them. I had a Heir Audio 4S (back before they turned into Noble) and enjoyed it (though the 4K dip made a lot of stuff in the presence region sound a but dull). @Kunlun had good things to say about the Savanna.. more of a jack of all trades, but master of none.. which seems pretty typical with most 4-BA driver, neutral-tuned monitors these days.

        Ultimately, I opted to go with the Empire Ears Spartan IV. I've had a lot of EW/EE phones (Supra II, Legend/Remastered/Omega) and enjoyed them for the most part.. I'm hoping the Spartan will be the most neutral of the bunch.

        Corny works for him. It pays for his life style. Thing is, the art of one-liners by Rich Hall is much more impressive. If you really want comedy genius go for Rowan Atkinson, he was his own doll...

        Unsure, atm.. the GOv2+ was sent back to LH to get the new aluminum plates (which were coming apart from the plastic/resin frame when the unit heats up). Might sell it when it gets back cause I wanna try something non-Sabre (or a different SABRE flavor) as a mobile dac/amp.. will primarily be driving IEMs.. and used as a DAC. ideas? I'm guessing Mojo will be many people's choice,eh?

        @imackler , yep.. b/c of the fit.. just hate having to fiddle with tips.. buy ones, etc. Comply's are comfy but they've always been a detriment to SQ on virtually every uIEM I've used them with. I'll check out the Noble silicone.. had them back when I had the N4 and remember liking them, as well.. thanks!

        I was working as a first-year lawyer in NYC back then. Early to mid-90s were actually a really great period of NYC IMHO. Starting to get safer without being totally homogenized/gentrified. Lower and middle class people could still afford to live here. Not just the wealthy.

        Ugly game, still entertaining, more post-season changing injuries tho, always a shame... First round isn't even over, some lucky team might end up coming out of the west by default (no injuries).
