I have a Schiit Modi and a Schiit Jotunheim. But I’ll pair the 789 with the Modi for now. Looking at going to a Topping D90 in the future.

For cans, I have the Sennheiser HD 650’s, BLON B20’s and Beyerdynamic DT 880’s.

Using the Hart Audio cables on the 650’s and B20’s.

Cool! I ended up buying a jotunhiem again. I think they’re different than the original release version.
You should look at the Bifrost 2 as a dac too. Good dac for the price.
Enjoy!

My Hart transplant came in yesterday:

Edit: Was super busy yesterday so I didn’t get a chance to do anything sound/music related :neutral_face: So breaking these out this morning they are super soft. They lay on the desk really well. For still being wires, they have a great “out-of-the-way-ness” to them…initial impression, of course.

gonna set on my desk and give me some much needed room as I start to build my setup vertical.

also just bought a Niles AXP1 passive input/output selector as I’m tired of dealing with splitter cables to my amps

Looks familiar…

yes. I actually did look for alternative ones at similar prices but this one always seemed like the best value wise out of the ones i searched. I’m looking forward to getting rid of the clutter and organizing my gear better. It was getting pretty crowded even with the bigger desk i built a few months back… now I will be able to focus on getting new pieces of gear in without thinking “where the hell am I gonna put it?” :laughing:

oh yeah i totally stole the idea of getting a niles input selector from you tho, that thing looks to be the best solution for what I want currently.

What cabinet/stand do you plan to use? :+1:

oh it didn’t load in the first post i guess… but this one
