Anyone knows a lot about Linux but moOde in particular? SSH command type stuff issue is relatively stupid, still can't seem to finger it out May 31, 2023

        Most of moOde settings are in the browser, not at the command line. IIRC, I did all the setup for it in the browser.

      ZMF Atticus is freaking banging. I always had an aversion or prejudice against closed or semi open headphones. Also I'm a moron.

        I did get sick of the heaviness on blackwood Aeolus truthfully and LCD2 F. The cherry Atticus seems light in comparison.
        Thanks again @Slade01

        Well, I'm not saying that you aren't a moron ( ;) ) but, decades ago, closed headphones put me off headphones completely. It was only in more recent years that I discovered /open/ headphones.

        Well, ok, I don't think you are a moron. Not for that bias, at least.

        And maybe, these days, I'd like to isolated sometimes...

        If you want semi-open audio bliss find a good AKG Sextett (not easy anymore) and find the right amplifier (check source and high/low gain settings). Sometimes you can find an old Philips N6330 (AKG & Philips worked together somehow) and I had one. You can listen to music for hours, just pure bliss.

        Driving speakers that dip below 4 ohms with both Aegirs rock solid now. Can't say how much I enjoy them, best move I ever made for my speaker rig.

        I've rolled a lot of tubes thorugh the thing and stock are best. The SW51+ can't do bass, just gotta move on and accept it for what it does well.

        Elex + Lyr 3 for me. Excellent combo. SW51+ not the best with Elex like HD650. I don’t really like Piety with Elex though either, but that’s in direct compare to Lyr.

        Maybe not related but Winter cold and low humidity make for static discharge that can mess with stuff. Yesterday I zapped Yggdrasil when I touched it and it locked up. Power cycle fixed it. Maybe same issue with Pi2AES. Big discharge might also affect SD card?

        @crazychile you're very correct about static in the winter. I have a humidifier just for the music room. Spinning vinyl and touching electronics with super low dew points and cold dryness sucks. Snap crackle pop ! I don't remember any static discharge when I plugged in pi2aes though.

        Order placed. I got a B-stock MP-7. I'm very excited to hear this. I'm especially hopeful that the MP-7 will help surface noise to recede into the background. I recently picked up a Schiit Mani 2, and while the unit has many commendable traits, it's still noisier than I would like.

        I liked Mani 2, much quieter than Mani 1. I wanted a bump up after having gungnir A2 on the speaker system, you can probably understand. I cheaped out with a AT-VM95ML and am super impressed between the ML stylus and MP-7 it's sooo quiet AND sounds impressive.
