I also had those sony iems until they broke (got all my money back fortunetly). I have to get another pair some day, they sounded amazing.

Holy shit that wood cup is beautiful in the first pic. Which headphone is that?
ZMF Verite Closed back with limited edition stabilised wood.
They had a sale of some earlier on today but I presume they are all sold out. I didn’t want to have the browser tab open tempting me.

I was waiting for my Loki to come in before I finally posted something in this thread, but that has been months of waiting.
I have had the Klipsch for over 10 years and where it all began. The black Sony I use for plane trips and the blue are my wife’s. The iems are mostly used for outdoor work and Koss are too much cheap fun to pass up. As for the others I think I am working with a pretty decent array of goodies.
I originally bought the hip dac for portability but my old Galaxy S8 has a shallow USB port so it always came out. Wishing I had the Zen dac or Can in its stead, but the hip dac does a great job when I want a little bass boost. Can’t say enough good things about the MLP and don’t see myself getting rid of that any time soon.
Been great hanging around this place for the last year, Cheers!

This will be my DAC/Amp/EQ end game for a long time to come.
Of course headphones are a whole different matter.

Temporarily moved out to sort out our flat to sell, so set up my desk in a different orientation, I think I like it better this way

That is some high end Mid-Fi.

Noble Sultan, looks like?
Saw the Auris and started scratching my head did I read mid-fi?
All goofs aside, looks like a pretty well put together setup

I got them all at midFi prices used and the performance is very midFi although I will say that it not a bad thing. This is the best pairing between the Auris and the LCD3s that I can make with each component.
The Nobel Sultans are on loan and will be going away at the end of week.

So, you weren’t overly impressed with the Auris amp?
It had an MSRP of ~ 2100 EUR or ~2500 USD I’d say hell no for that amount. For the deal I got it for it’s a hell yes. I’ve only tried a 2 input (ECC82) tubes and just 1 set PL95 power tubes so a proper rolling / testing of tubes is really in order. Just an initial take having it for ~ 3 weeks / 60 hours of listening.

I feel the same way with my new amp (Pro iCAN). In Canada the list was $2,500.00, plus tax. A total of almost $3K. I paid half that. I feel pretty good about it at that price.
Although, if you turn off ALL the features and don’t use/need the extra power, I am not sure that it is any better than the Violectric or even the Liquid Platinum.
Updated my setup again organized things a bit better for now, got a few new things and moved setups again. Have a schiit wyrd and some other stuff coming but Its changed a bit so I thought I’d post an update. Found a decent stand that I might add a small shelf to later, Its an adjustable microwave shelf that happened to be the closest size to what I wanted so It works for now.
