That does look interesting. If I hadn’t just bought a tube amp, I would be considering it.
At 650mW it is twice the power of the BTR7 and the new BTR15.

The power is nice to have, but I’m only driving IEMs so not really needed (although I think it helps to make the HBB Heyday planars open up a bit more - that’s probably placebo effect though).

I got the xDuoo MT-602 today, and it sounds great. It seems like it makes the sound stage a bit wider, which is always welcome for me. The power is nice but overkill for most of my gear. That said, I really enjoyed the gear I have tried with them, and I look forward to revisiting my headphones and IEMs with it.

Geez why didn’t I get the lcd3s years ago…that wood. Very much on the level of empy 1 but a little more sparkle up top…also if anyone needs a hifiman HE1K stealth I’m probably not going to be using them much anymore.

It was cable day today! NiceHCK SnowCat and FirstTouch came in:

Sim music arrived yesterday, some last week but I didn’t post.
Found a nice place to look for vinyl, ended up scoring theses beauties. Really liked the Coolio special edition, has a nice red vinyl.
First order of a vinyl club I entered some time ago, can’t wait to hear at a special moment.

I have a pair of balanced DT880s…
but 99€?! How could I not?
Getting a replacement driver alone is like 60€ + shipping, so worst case this is cheaper than getting replacement parts XD

a buddy lent me the coin so I could buy an eBike…and I ordered a VoltBike Kodiak.

Second pair of DT880 600ohm arrived today.
Along with a 4.4 mm pentaconn to RCA cable to feed the ZEN CAN into the my A/V receiver to feed a subwoofer (increasingly coming to the conclusion that it works very well)
This pair was on sale for 99€ during cyber week at Beyerdynamic, couldn’t resist. (still going on I believe)
So they will serve as a gift, spare part reserve (literally cheaper than buying the parts individually.)
or as a point of comparison, whichever comes first I suppose.
Though now I am highly tempted to get some DSP miniEARS and just run the comparisons myself between different amps, mods, balanced/unbalanced etc. along with sound demos so people can make up their own mind whether or not a different amp or mod will modify the heapdhones enough to make a meaningful difference.
Also ordered the custom cans modkit while I was at it.
Although I know I would want to kill myself if I actually went through with that 
At the same time I would really have liked to see that comparison back when I got these and also put my mind at ease that a better amp is not needed.
Or in other words… Is this the point at which I must officially declare I have a problem?

I can finally say farewell and give my eventual failing old ass Seagate Barracuda HDD a rest. Also I know I know, I could have gotten an another m.2 SSD but my P3 has already filled that spot, and I don’t get people, some of them are calling me crap just because I bought a SATA SSD, even though I just wanted to replace my 2015 HDD.

M2 is incredibly overrated for many use cases.

The guy was like yeah I can clown you for buying a SATA SSD instead of the M.2 NVMe one. I am like dude, look I just wanted to replace my old Seagate Barracuda HDD that I have since 2015, and my other m.2 slot is already being used by my Crucial P3 and I already have the 980 Pro as my primary for my OS. I think it’s much better for me to leave the PCMR server now, there are just people who are way too fucking toxic like come on, the needs you have for your rig is not the same as the needs that I have for my rig.
