Massdrop HE-4XX – $75

original owner - this has the @billP mods + a more open grill on the back and an extra set of pad rings – everything is easily reversible to bone-stock. Very lightly used as I cycled thru too much gear to understand my preferences. I used ZMF Ori pads (not included) with these, so the original pads are like new. In original box, with all the original stuff.​

Toobz coming in another post soon


-------------------SOLD-------------------

ZMF Pilot Pad – $15 (SOLD @Vtory )

original owner – very comfy, but I ended up switching to the crescent strap​

ZMF Co-pilot pad – $15 (SOLD @Vtory )

original owner – I prefer this over the pilot, but I prefer the crescent strap even more​

Massdrop PC37x – $75 (SOLD @RestoredSparda )

original owner – got these to play a couple of games with my son… but it ended up that it was easier/more fun to just yell at each other (much to my wife and daughter’s dismay). Kept these around… figuring I’d use them at some point, but if I didn’t use them during WFH for almost 2 yrs, then I’m never going to use them. Light use, probably less than 40 hrs… in original box, with all the original stuff.​

Schiit SYS – $20 (SOLD @Mr.Sneis )

original owner – not much to say about this, you know what it is. In original box and the all-important-user manual.​

Schiit OG Saga – $150 (SOLD @hifiandrun )

2nd owner – I picked this up for a use that never really materialized and I’ve hung onto it way too long. In original box, with the all-important-user manual, 2 remotes (schiit plastic and schiit aluminum), and stock tube. I only used it to test functionality, no idea how many hours it had before me.​

Schiit EITR – $75 (SOLD @Qildail )

original owner - I’ve kept this around “just in case” for awhile now. Just in case has never happened, so time to part with it. In original box, with the all-important-user manual.​

Metrum Amethyst (w/ DAC2 modules) - $450 (SOLD @m17xr2b )

this was purchased from @Hands, who had swapped the SPDIF and RCA jacks. RCA jacks were swapped for Vampire CM1FCB (gold plated OFC, teflon dielectric), and SPDIF jacks were swapped for 75ohm BNC jacks. Used VH Audio's solid core, AirLok copper wire (24 awg) for wiring.. Works perfectly, no significant blemishes.​

Hands original FS posting mentioned “minor nits” - transformer hum and that the top of the case didn’t fit perfectly. There has never any transformer hum in my use, so I assume that was something with @Hands power situation. The top of the case seems to go back on perfectly to me (I had to reseat a DAC2 module) – so I don’t think that’s a problem either.​

Comes in original box and packaging... and I should have a couple of RCA-BNC adapters that I’ll toss in if you don’t have a BNC cable for the SPDIF.
​

Massdrop HD6xx (Ireland) – $150 (SOLD @m17xr2b )

original owner - purchased this to compare to my HD600 and to understand the sound as an SBAF reference standard. Light use, probably less than 100hrs... in original box, with all the original stuff.​

 

While I can't buy anything, I will impart some wisdom: I heard the Metrum Amethyst quite a long time ago. If you like the modi multibit and the original Bifrost Multibit kind of sound, you'll really like the Amethyst. It's that sound on steroids.

 

Pm'd

 

I want the sys

 

What color is the Metrum? Does the USB work? I’m interested in it. I want to use it with my Nvidia Shield TV.

 

Metrum is black, and the USB worked wheni used it last, but it's been awhile. I'll pull it out of the box and test it again just to make absolutely sure

 

USB input tested and working fine - plugged it into my computer and then the HD6xx into the headphone out... I was surprised how clean my tower USB was... I can't say that I've used the USB for audio on this motherboard before...
-------edit-------
just a heads-up that with the Amethyst, the Error light comes on whenever there is no signal to the selected input. As soon as the music starts, the error light goes off. This is normal/expected behavior.

 

bump before listing elsewhere sometime next week

 

HE4xx left, will be listed elsewhere for more later today.

Toobz coming next week....
