i just connected the vdac+vpsu from my living room hifi setup to to my audioengine a5+ and wow, just wow. huge improvement over the fiio e10 of course. the audioengine a5+ are new not even burned in.
 
i'm want to upgrade my fiio e10 fast. i love the e10, but the vdac with vpsu on the audioengine a5+ shows, there is much more!
 
sorry for being OT here.
 
i thought about the hrt music streamer 2. would this thing make me happy compared to the vdac+vpsu?

Here is my DIY desk, built from indonesian hardwood floorboards!
 

 
The drawers drawn out completely, these were hard to make though...
 

 
Dimensions: Width: 85 cm Length: 180 cm 
 
No cable management yet so sorry for that.

Thanks! you're the first one apart from my girlfriend to review it, and comment on it!
I might want to use some sort of finish for the drawers to make them look a bit more washed out, a bit more white-ish.

@marleybob217..
 
I really like your custom desk also. If I might make a comment...I think that it would look even nicer without the metal outer edge. You could router off a smooth edge around the outside and have a flush surface that looked and felt like one piece. Just a thought. Nice job though!!

I disagree.

I personally really like the look of that edge.

First off, thanks so much for reviewing my desk, it feels awesome!
But the metal strip is there to hide the click system of the floorboards. Since it is hard wood I would never be able to saw off the edges of the boards.
 
I also wanted it to look kinda robust, and the floorboards have a depth of 16mm so this is pretty thin. So I used the metal strip to hide the click system and to make it look more robust.

He's referring to the tile (that's what it looks like anyway) walls. 
 
I wish I could have a listening station in the shower...

Concrete with cotton wrapped around it?
I like it!


Though that wouldn't work with my desk, it being glass and no very good at handling large weights.
