    My dad’s birthday is tomorrow and I got him a pair of Sony wh-1000xm5 bc they’re convenient and have noise-cancelling but rethinking my decision now. The smile on his face when he tried my setup, I think I want to prioritize sound quality instead.

    so I am looking for:

    - a good condition HD6XX, 650, 580, 600, mods are welcome and even encouraged

    and a schiit stack consisting of anything from:

    - a magni 2U to a Vali, or an older Asgard to a (get a load of this guy, tryna make jokes over here) Piety (damn still can’t believe I missed out on these…)

    - the DAC can be any Modi with an ESS chip in it cuz it’ll most likely have a higher-grade usb receiver in it, or, if this goes really well, a modi multibit

    if you have any other exotic, yet cheap equipment I’d be willing to hear substitutions on any of these, including the headphones. Just want to see something like the same smile on his face, budget is $600 for everything though, so likely a smaller smile.

    Well, turns out he actually loves the sonys, “the bass response on these things is incredible!” —with ANC on, “You can’t hear anything, this is amazing!”

    Happy he’s happy, but @Slade01 very graciously offered his Piety at-cost and other friends offered some great gear at very, very generous prices, wish he could’ve at least tried some of it out, but he was adamant. Wants to use them at home and at the office, so I understand why he likes the idea of the Sonys more.

    A very warm thank you to everyone who responded to this thread, truly and from the bottom of my heart. You guys made me tear up a bit with your kindness and generosity. IM NOT CRYING, YOURE CRYING.

    @shotgunshane @jexby please close this thread
