    Makes sense with the timing, though what stood out to me was $565 for an Overnight Sensations kit.

    For chain pizza, Dominoes is pretty legit. I never thought they could turn around their old image of inedible crap but they did it.

Occupation:

Back Office Banker

Gear List:

Senn HD600, Sony WM1A, NuForce X Drop Move, Drop x JVC HA-FDX1, Sony WF-1000XM3, Senn HD6XX, PI2AES, Schiit Bifrost 2, PIoneer DV-79AVi DVD Player (CD Transport), Schiit Eitr, Massdrop x Airist R-2R DAC (RDAC), DNA Starlett, Zampotech SW51+, Grado Hemp

Boring Back Office Banker dude, woo.

My Preference is Warmish/Darkish Neutralish, if that even make sense (answer is no). I try to get to that goal by doing a Warm/Dark DAC with a more Neutralish Amp. Headphones will also do its thing on SQ, if I like it or not.

Computer Desktop Setup:

Note: This is for casual listening while on the computer, and when I Work From Home (WFH). So listening to random songs, 12 inch collections and also not really focusing on the album. Darker DAC being fed into a mostly neutralish amp.

Thinkpad X260 via Roon or Foobar2000-UPnP > Schiit Eitr > Massdrop x Airist R-2R DAC (RDAC) > Zampotech SW51+

Main Setup:

Note: This is for serious album listening and being analytical on certain songs to compare mastering or understand song structure. With both the Computer Desktop Setup and the Main Setup I have two separate amps for two semi-different sound flavors/methods. Still good stuff, for me. Unlike the RDAC, I found Bifrost 2 to be on the Warm side with PI2AES. DNA Starlett is mostly a neutralish amp to me.

Roon or UPnP > PI2AES [Coax Output] or Pioneer DV-79AVi DVD Player (CD Transport) [Toslink Output] > Schiit Bifrost 2 > DNA Starlett

Headphones and IEMs: Senn HD600, Senn HD6xx, NuForce x Drop Move, Drop x JVC HA-FDX1, Sony WF-1000XM3, Grado Hemp

Portable Setups:
