HexV2 and Liquid Plat inbound!

I don’t think I’ve been this excited since the last time I bought new gear!

Try out the bass boost on the hip dac and Zen. With the hip dac they power them surprisingly well, even unbalanced. Pretty cool pairing, even being a planar. I think it sounds better than the basX a100 and even is better than the 800i, as far as impact

Nice grabs :+1: I thought about the platinum myself. Look forward to reading your impressions.

Only of course! I snagged a 4.4->XLR balanced interconnect to do that Zen bass boost thing.

A good mic for phone calls is not something you yourself will notice, but everyone else will.
In the name of everyone else: Thanks

Before I spend on a Bluetooth DAC

Does the BTR5 really sound better because I know the app on the earstudio is so much better

Six ru server rack to hold the Behringer a800 amps I ordered today and the UPS for them


Only thing left to order now is a minidsp hd and for everything arrive. Sadly the a800s wont arrive to the end of September :frowning:

Very curious about these mystery packages. Do they give any indication what items could be in them? Also I’m curious to hear your thoughts on Audirvana. I’ve looked at it a few times before. Are you on Mac or PC?

They finally arrived!!

My eight headphone trees are ready to be deployed. :smiley:

Mac, that’s why audirvana is necessary for me.

I’ve been using it for a few hours, it’s absolutely great. I’m not entirely sure about the sound quality differences yet as I need to get a better system first; but from a UI point of view it is very easy. It’s basic, which is exactly what I want. No nonsense, no frills. It’s good looking, especially the page that shows all albums, and the app for controlling your PC on your phone is great too. Sometimes it is a tad slow to load album covers but that is acceptable as I have quite a few.

With the mystery packages, you are guaranteed one pair of headphones/IEMs and a cable, both of which will cost more than the $30 spent each. I could be lucky and get two mega expensive items, or I could get two items worth $30 each. Either way I can always resale an item or two if I don’t like them and turn a slight profit.Screenshot 2020-08-20 at 18.34.27
