Ok, I get it now. Thanks to the HD660S2 loaner tour and @mjames7 lending me his La Figaro 339i, I now get the real tube love. Whew boy!

  ...and then you swap tubes to something different, and it gets substantially BETTER. WTF y'all...

  It’s a disease/money pit at its worst and super fun at its best. If you’re a tweaky kind of person, it’s hard to beat dialing the sound in with different toobs.

Roon has just grabbed my attention and interest with an iron fist, after introducing their Roon Nucleus One at $500 :-O

  And yes, it does a lot even at 192 kHz. :) But I admit that one reason for keeping my eyes open for other DACs is that nervosa says it might be even better with a DAC that can swallow higher rates.

  I should also add that with the RU6, the difference between Roon and HQP wasn’t as big by far as with the Daccord, although it does 384 kHz. My guess is that the clock must be good in order to be able to appreciate the difference, but that’s just speculation.

  Not to hijack, but I tossed a few of my own queries over here:

Dumb question: how can I add pictures to a post? I see the insert picture icon, which asks for a pic URL, but I can't drop photos right in.

  upload pic to imgur; open that image in a separate tab, so that the url ends with .jpg or the like, then copy/paste that url into the prompt here

Haven't seen any chatter on the pending release of the ModHouse Audio Tungsten headphones. Is there any SBAF leads on a set for review?

  I'm keen to hear one, too, even if the amp requirements are a little unusual

  The sonic characteristics described by some folks on HF seem to align with my preferences (on paper) - and that price point is just so darn intriguing. But to your point, the concern would be with amp pairing...not sure if my Lyr 3 would be something sufficient to drive it!

  It may take a while before we see impressions with a variety of amps, given the apparent high demand and small operation making the Tungsten
