Got the freya+ today and connected it and listened for a few minutes to see if everything functions properly and it doesā€¦ hoping they sound as good as they look together :ok_hand:

Deliveries 2 and 3 of ???

Yes, itā€™s only 2 x 128GB, but thatā€™s plenty for me.

The DX160 is great so far. Had to order a 3.5 mm TS to RCA cable to get it to send S/PDIF to my DACs. It didnā€™t like my TRRS FiiO digital coax cable for some reason.

Thanks folks! Iā€™ll find a thread to post my impressions eventually but that usually takes awhile for me to sort out

Not mine but my sisterā€™s. She got them in today and let me take them home for the night. I was expecting a closed Elex but vocals seem to be very in-your-face on the Elegias. I donā€™t have the Elex anymore to A/B with either but I may prefer the comfort on these to them.

Nice choice! Iā€™ve been loving mine. Living exclusively with the tubes, canā€™t say Iā€™ve tried the buffer mode. Youā€™re using the stock tubes?

I went with a quad set of Electro-Harmonix 6SN7, theyā€™re new and easy to get and did provide a richer sound than the stock tubes it came with. Relatively cheap.

What Iā€™ll wind up with, heard a lot of good thing about them is these. Much more money to throw at it but why get tubes if youā€™re not going to do some experimentation.

Iā€™ll probably try to hunt down something vintage but just havenā€™t gotten around to it.

My One Plus 7 Pro just had the screen relacedā€¦ it fell off my motorcycle and got run over in traffic. Front is fine, back is shattered. Iā€™m still calling it a win.

right on, I didnā€™t even think to go the new route so ill keep these in mindā€¦ thanks

Your sister sounds pretty cool. Good taste in headphones and is nice enough to share.

Sony MH-1, and an OPA627 opamp. Iā€™ve read that the OPA627 sounds its best with a more powerful amplifier. I got it to get into dabbling with opamps with my Zishan Z3 Pro, so that will have to do, until I can lay my hands on a decent desktop solution.

Burson are pretty decent for not to much money to roll opamps
