What did you buy today? (Part 2)

I assumed he tried that first. Lol

Screw it open and stick a screwdriver in there?

Yes, I feel I have missed out for many months for not having one. Some of the issues I’ve had with my internal DAC/Amp seemed to be resolved and isn’t harsh and now has better resolution. The trade off is that it doesn’t support DSD so now I’m looking at an active usb device and see if I can boost usb performance up.

I’m still running it through my evaluation. Only thing I will say about it is that it doesn’t match the rest of my equipment. I used to have a silver DAC that would go nicely with it. That’s probably my only critique at the moment.

I tried that first, since it’s the most obvious method.

Did it work? :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

Sooooo I bought a BHC, and it’s currently being built. Very excited to try tubes for the first time (especially with my new Auteurs). Will post pics when it comes!

Meant to post this a while ago, but you know…life and stuff.
Focal Elegia w/ Dekoni Sheepskin Pads. IMO, one of the best closed-backs.
A VERY special shout-out to Delta9K!

Well, a couple things came in the mail today:
Monroe spring load adjusting monotube shock absorbers for the back of my truck


Left rear shock absorber currently on the truck that kinda had me going… “You’re not supposed to look or feel like that…”

Just a couple things that came in the subscription box that just arrived:

New job and upgrades at my work, so basically what the company bought me today…

Dell Precision 5820 Tower w/ 3.6 ghz Xeon, 32gb RAM
Plantronics Voyager 5200 Bluetooth headset ( really clear sound by the way, light weight on the ears)
Dual Dell 24’s

Really enjoy this setup, just need some plants and maybe a Desktop Dac/Amp, only running iems, either FH3’s or Legacy 3’s

Except for the power supply, those towers are really nice (maybe there is an older one near the dumpsters to save?). Can throw in loads of different add-ins and add-ons to those. This 5.25" thing for example:

Whoa you can add that in the tower? they do sell the older models once they are like 5 years or older i think, i this all brand new so i was pretty happy. Im thinking either a Fiio K5 Pro or and Element from JDS, although the Earman Sparrow is catching my eye or the Lotoo Paw

You have a window. Sort of.

Looks out to the paint line ( I work in manufacturing ) it’s better than nothing I guess, adds some depth and now that I think of it I’m the only one in the office who has a window

That’s worth a couple of grand right there!

haha I’m definitely not taking it for granted, i need some green though, maybe a nice fake fern behind the monitors and this window is hella dirty

Yup. Fits in the optical drive bay.

I have never seen an audio interface that goes in a tower like that, crazy. I can just see the looks of I bring in a keystep and do shit on break, wait I can still do that cuz my god this thing has like ten USB’s, highly doubt they would let me out Ableton on it
