If you don’t need the ANC, there are plenty of other headphones that don’t sound as overly bassy & muffled. But if you need ANC, then it’s probably a good choice for the price.

I have the XM3. It needs serious eq from the app to sound decent. I like them though. Good for travel and isolation. Ok for sq.

Some classics never get old.

Ha! Like a boss.

I think my first game will probably be The Last of Us 2. I've already played it to death, but I want to see it in all its glory.

Mozart, Freddie, Bowie, Tupac, and now Daft Punk. I like plenty more who are still alive or lived out expectedly, but can't think of anyone else that I truly grieved or would grieve.

I use it for that exact job with Elex. The leftmost knob phattens it right up

Can't remember what your source is, but if you can get AES/SPDIF into a DEQ2496, you can pretty much do whatever you want to the HD800 sound sig.

After the semi-bummer that was CP2077 (on PC), I'm intrigued. I loved the ME Trilogy.

PS - You can also add the moOde bookmark to your smartphone home screen. I did this with iOS and Android. Android actually has the moOde logo as the icon. Note, you have to use the IP, as phones don't know what do do with the .local (ie. moode.local)

If you're using Android phone, I found MALP quite painless, since it connects directly to mpd, though you still have to go back to Moode browser for EQ etc

I don’t use streaming services either and access my music from my pi via networked or local drives. As such, I like using Rune. The GUI is nice enough and not laggy like moode. I prefer the Rune+R version. The only quirk I’ve had is that local drives need to be formatted to NTFS instead of exfat. https://www.runeaudio.com/forum/runeaudio-r-e6-t7141.html

SW51+ and a Verite Closed are ordered, but probably a ways out still.

HD800 impressions might not happen til this weekend or whenever I have a chance to mod my cable to balanced.

So not as warm of a sound overall?

Yes. Or at least from the balanced output. I haven't tried the single ended yet. And not as sleepy. The Asgard 3 was nice and smooth and really good for the price, but particularly with the HD650, it was too much of a good thing.

I couldn't find the corollary for IL, but here's what MA put together: https://www.mass.gov/service-details/frequently-asked-questions-about-form-1099-k-notices-from-third-party-payment.

Debating it myself. My IEMs are garbage from my interface. Speakers are okay. I'd have to get a DAC again too (Bifrost Multibit or Modius) and suddenly the setup isn't simple anymore.

For sure. I was very happy downsizing to the iFi iDSD BL for a while (great all in one at used prices), but I knew it wasn't a permanent solution. At least the Schiit stuff stacks neatly.

Just saw online that someone placed an order for a Modi MB and it was backordered until March, Modius and Modi 3+ like Feb I believe.

They have a very agreeable tonality and while not the most resolving or best imaging, they do their job right.

I wasn’t getting a good seal with mine so I switched the tips to the SednaEarfit Xelastic and finally experienced the pros as they were meant to be, and it greatly increased my appreciation for them.

GOTY

No doubt there is some real potential here. Personally I prefer what ZMF has done with the Seahorse case and its durability for travel. That said I am not into aesthetics nearly as much as some are

For me, the idea is to complement the Seahorse type case. Something that gives some protection from bumps, but fits into a backpack or suitcase, or can be used standalone at a meet/show, or on a shelf.

A somewhat flat, somewhat rectangular box with removable side panels, and a headphone stand inside.

So sad.

Nvm. I found it.

Sounds like you're good. Mine is just shy of 5-3/8" from the bottom of the feet to the top of the transformer covers
