Share snapshots of your present ENDGAME =D

Tight set up, gotta say tho that those mandarins and Rick and morty poster steal the show for me

and don’t forget the toilet paper, oh yes the toilet paper right in the middle of the action :+1::roll_of_toilet_paper:

cheaper than napkins and can be used with spilled liquids or with a runny nose

This is my main setup at home, its a bit cramped and filling up with more and more stuff. I don’t think it’s strictly endgame as this hobby is constantly changing and listening to / enjoying your music from new angles and viewpoints but this is rather the current state of my setup. I don’t have one particular headphone and amp that I use daily but instead have different systems that I use depending on what I am listening to and how I feel.

Damn, thats nice. :stuck_out_tongue: I would suggest a R2R DAC next, since you does not seem to have one. Everything else from electrostats to tubes is covered :smiley:

Yeah, the argument “I need it because I don’t already have it” is what got me into this state :slight_smile:

Not endgame, but, cheapest +100dB SINAD combo, probably.
Edit: Limited to 48khz though.

Not shown: Blu-tac :slight_smile:

Thanks guys !

This cable looks like a chain, lol, nice.

(Wtf, first time I wrote XLR, half asleep. 2nd time I wrote balanced. Google image search and it’s a 1/4" jack. Final edit FFFFFFF)

Why did you decide on the Phobos?

Kinda funny but the wood around the Phobos always looks to me like some kind of wax

Very amazing bass and extended soundstage, vocals presentation is recessed but other than that are great. My review

Ha, it’s a little complicated.
I live in Taipei, Taiwan, it’s easy to go to the headphone shops by 20-minute drive so I tend to buy the headphones that are not easy to have a chance to try. And the reviews on the internet convinced me to take a shot.

For the sounds and the uniqueness it’s total worth the price IMO.


Office Rig, Updated for 2020:

Replaced Topping DX7s with D90
“Vintage” THX AAA 789 (from before the rebrand that “DROPped” the “Mass”)
Focal Stellias w/ custom 2.5mm balanced cable by Forza Audioworks
Massdrop 2.5mm to XLR adapter

EDIT: used a smaller version of image so it shows up OK
