^ Really nice! Love the design of those B&W's

I see Noctua fans in that case. How silent are they?

Thanks Poo

I wanted to go with a pair of Proac speakers but they were out of my price range so I went with the B&W's. I'm really happy with them aside from the lower bass extention (which is expected). I love the finish and lack of grill holes as well. Overall I'm really happy with the system but I will probably add a tube preamp down the road and dedicate the Benchmark back to DAC only functionality.

Zeph,

Yeah those are Noctua fans. I think they are great fans but I wouldn't call them "Silent." They have a fairly pleasing sound profile compaired to the other fans I've had in the past. I am interested in trying out some of the Nexus models as well.

on a side note... I recently switched to balanced XLR's on the Benchmark analog output and I was shocked at the improvement. I don't know if it was the cable or the change from RCA's but I'm sold regardless.

DAC coming and waiting on new ath line stateside....

My next upgrade might be a bigger computer desk.

jzhang: What kind of headphone hanger is that? It looks like it has a cord winder.

Dude, where do your legs go?!

New Core i7 rig already in the planning stages, but here is my current:



And with my 6500K, 90CRI BIAS light:

Mine is in my signature and I like it Click on "home system"

Nice eyecandy.

Very clean! /me like...

I don't understand how you guys keep such nice desktops XD

I guess I'm in school, but I just cleaned mine last Saturday and now there's books and papers everywhere!

^ Perhaps we just have less books and paperwork?
Or we just are more tidy than you..

Not me.



Yes I realize the speaker placement sucks, it's just quite difficult to improve at the moment with all the stuff in the room.

Oh man, the picture of my dorm desk makes me cringe.

Ignore the wall color =P





I need to take new pics, I just replaced the XLS with Ascend's HTM-200s and a Hsu VTF-2, and replaced the older Marantz receiver with a newer Denon. Gotta clean the room up first though, it's messy.
