Life after Yggdrasil?
I posted my sincere thanks for your exemplary work investigating DACs some time ago, dropped off the forums (fora?) and now have made a small return. And there you still are, answering all and sundry with infinite patience and one of the best attitudes I have ever seen. Thank you Torq.- john777

Moon Nēo 430HA Reference Headphone Amplifier
No, I am quite happy with the SQ from the 430HA and I would find all the disconnect/reconnect a pain... Did have Wharfedale IsoDynamic headphones running off the speaker terminals of an amp back in the 70’s though...- john777

Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone
My HE-1000v2 hang from a Sennheiser HE-1 (I think) headphone support which is attached to one of the shelves of my rack. The only light pressure is from the headphones weight on the headband.

Breaking News: HE1000 V2
Thank you, TheAttorney. Have we not gone through all this a number of times before? I like Toxic Cables cables, especially SW22 (Silver Widow 22AWG). The cable I use with my HE-1000v2 is a reterminated ALO Audio Reference 16, originally used with HE-500s and adapted by the renowned Oscar Stewart.- john777

Official HIFIMAN HE1000 Impressions Thread
Mine sounded great, straight out of the box. Few days later, sounded dreadful. Kept using them and after about a week, they sounded great again and have improved over the last six months. Clearer sound, no smearing, wider soundstage, space between instruments especially on live tracks, female...- john777
