^^ Nice photography, especially with the top pic! I love the simplicity of a headphone that sounds great right from the phone. 


Thank-you.

That silly $39 headphone does get loud? Louder than you would ever need it to be. At first the bass seemed a little wooly but I'm used to it.

  @Oregonian ...did you consider turning that comfy chair to face the speakers? Just a thought.


Yes I did.............fortunately the chair swivels 360* as needed so when I listen to the speakers that's what I do.   A compromise due to where the TV is and the fact that the better half had some say in the room layout.

  My listening station/mini cinema.
 

 
The Schitt Stack also gets dragged out to the lounge room for some hardcore gaming.

Nice monitor!

My mess...I mentioned in another forum that the rectifier will probably melt the back of said monitor.  I've added reflective aluminum tape to the back area.
 

 
I confess that I tend to listen via the speaker way more than the headphones.

Thx.
 
I believe the headphone outs are not compatible with the Focal's line in.  Woo Audio allows customers to order the WA22 with pre-outs added but skipped it.  So the Hugo TT sends line outs to the Focal via RCA and WA22 via XLR.  I have a Schiit SYS hooked up in reverse to kill the RCA out so the Focal gets no signal (kinda wished Chord had implemented a mute select option for outputs).

pfff you need to pay more for pre? :/
 
forgot to say that I love the look of your focal monitors :) really like speakers with double front port from some reason.

(NEW) Mackie MR5 mk3 studio monitors
Schiit Vali headphone amp
(NEW) NuForce u-DAC 3
Geek Out 450 DAC + Geek Out V2 DAC (not pictured)
Senn 600 / 558
(NEW) V-Moda XS
 
Acoustically the Mackies sound geat. The bass is shallow and uncontrolled. Not awful but I've heard better. Looking into maybe getting something else for bookshelf speakers.
