Sorry, i am rather inexperienced but could you tell me what was this device supposed to do?
Smsl sa300 better than the AD18.
Soundrise 5 speaker stands and a Geshelli J2.

It’s an interface for headphones and speaker taps from amplifiers.
The load resistors aren’t necessary with most Solid State amps, but more so with Tube amplifiers.
I purchased it for my HifiMan HE6se to use with a couple of different amplifiers.

Welcome! The cool-aid is next to the stack of swappable G cushions, and the line to get on the mothership is next to the detachable cable mod station. Don’t worry, your money is safe with us! Unless you want to swap for the all aluminum gimble system, then you are going to be broke very soon 
The Koss KPH30i Cult is meeting here later this afternoon, so be sure to get your G cushions before then. Those guys take them by the dozen (and I have no idea what they do to them! But you don’t want to see one after they are done… it looks perverse!)
And whatever you do, don’t go full retard! A true abomination:

lmao, wtf is that mod?, i’m ok with the pad swap thanks xD
edit: no, wait he may have a point
NO! If you have any self respect you will get Shipibo parts (though they aren’t really worth it for the SR80e).
Anyway, welcome to the cult. We’re glad to have you.

How is battery life? Is it just 10 hours as the site suggests?
Smsl su-9 just of curiosity, dacs exploring continues, maybe im crazy, but to me they all sound different:)
Compared it to su-8, and if many people claims that they sound the same, i think it is not true, su-9 has much more details and sounds cleaner.

Just turned on a30 pro amplifier, first impression is good, clean and powerful sound with zero fatigue or harsh. Actually pairing A30 pro with su-9 dac makes sound 3d instead of 2d with Asgard 3(maybe because Asgard connected through RCA, and XLR make SU-9 shihe, dont know), Asgard 3 was my favorite amp with 1990, but now im think i found my new crush:) But i will share my more detailed impression after burn-in and direct comparison to Asgard 3.

Gonna forget about Utopia and say with these two…you score most bang for buck from Focal. Picked em up used for a steal. Sub 1500 for complete beautiful sounds.

I’m very interested in seeing how you find those, would be nice to have another custom option
2.5 hrs + burn-in-> Fuckin not going to bed appreciating the hell outta em. As good as any Audeze I’ve run (LCD 2F, LCD 2CB, LCD 2C) Doesnt have the depth of bass…but almost and the mids are awesome. top 3 value buys I’ve had in audio game…plus they are custom, hand built and Sash is great with updates AND extra 50 will get you cups that can be attached to make closed. HIGHLY recommend.

How much did it end up being overall?
I grabbed two different sets of pads and two sets of cups - to play around with padding and open/closed back. I want to say base without back cups are 370-80 with shipping. I had sold all my Audeze…sort of was missing Planar sound…no longer the case.

That’s pretty good considering it is a fully custom headphone, like the Hyland stuff
