Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support
You're welcome. I don't know. I'm not sure that they have a iFi Bridge app for Mac OS. If so then yes, it should work either way since there's nothing "custom" about the setup. If you have the app running on any Windows PC on your network it should work though, even if that PC isn't your Roon Core.- D Rob

Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support
How to use the Shanling ET3 as a lossless Roon endpoint I wanted to do a write up since I recently set this up. Then, realizing Darko covered the ET3 recently I figured I should stop being lazy and get this done. It’s very easy and very straight forward so if it seems like a lot of steps don’t...- D Rob

For sure. It's a Pinza in the size large. It's great with all but the gnarliest of cables.- D Rob

You should be good. It vaguely mentions it by way of, "Note 2: There may be a small to moderate glitch when switching gain or mode. If you would like to avoid this, unplug your headphones. We do not recommend IEMs with this amp in any case.". I don't turn mine off when I swap and I haven't...- D Rob

There's maybe one hour a day where the sunlight reaches my desk. I give you the Mjolnir 3!- D Rob

Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread
The above quotes helped me realize what I feel is the key difference between the HD600 and the HD660S2. I think the HD600 specializes in vocals where the HD660S2 specializes in instruments. Neither is bad with the other specialty but I think they trade blows with each having its strong suit.- D Rob

I just checked, it says 72° F in my room. I will have to update that though in my final thoughts later. After being on over 24 hours the ambient it gives off isn't an issue still (within 1 - 2 inches of the heatsink), but that heat sink is too hot to comfortably touch.- D Rob

The CMA12 is sitting in a box ready for sale and the box my Mjolnir 3 came in is sitting in my closet :sunglasses: The Qutest lived up to my expectations and the Mjolnir 3 has been as well. This combo has the 12 beat on micro, macro, general dynamics and tone, and that's over the 6.35mm HP out...- D Rob

I can feel your pain. I was considering the Anni too. I ruled it out for me because the gain only affects the speaker outs and not the headphone out. For more sensitive stuff you will be on a razors edge for volume (or so I've read); the stand they make for the two of them is astonishingly...- D Rob

Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread
First impressions: I don't post much but I've been here for forever and gear I've had is all linked in my profile if it matters to anyone. The Mjolnir 3 landed on my desk in place of my Gilmore Lite Mk2 with GRRV PSU. My setup: Chord Qutest to Mjolnir 3 to Peachtree M24's ( all with Pangea...- D Rob

:o2smile: Will do. I've left it on non-stop since about 5 minutes prior to posting the pic earlier. I feel like the heat was oversold. I think the bottom might be getting warmer than the top but at no point have I not been able to flat out touch the heatsinks. But I can smell the light wiff of...- D Rob

Mine arrived at the local FedEx hub Saturday morning. Let's just say this feels like a 3 day weekend but all of these impressions being written have been a life saver during the wait.- D Rob
