Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...
Quote: I like it a lot so far. I've only had it a couple weeks so I'm still getting a feel for it, but so far I love the sound, the look, the build quality, etc. It's a nice amp for the price.- Mutombo

Brief Odac impressions
Curious for those who ordered from JDS Labs. Are you getting a shipping confirmation when it goes out, or is the package just arriving on your doorstep? I haven't heard anything yet (ordered May 15).- Mutombo

Brief Odac impressions
Eagerly awaiting the arrival of my standalone ODAC. I wanted to be able to use it with my other amps and not just my O2.- Mutombo

HD 600 - Looking for a desktop USB DAC thats reliable & has good sound for $250-500+
The ODAC should be shipping from JDS Labs in the next week or so. You can get the standalone version for $150. I've pre-ordered one from them, and if I don't like it then I'll probably upgrade to the Schiit Bifrost (~$450 with usb).- Mutombo

Anything better than the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro?
+1 on the Senn HD600/HD650. I had the DT990's and sold them when I got the HD650's. They were just a more enjoyable headphone for me to listen to. Listening is subjective though, I'd say that the Senn's aren't as bassy but have great midrange and less harsh highs. The Denon D5000 is...- Mutombo

FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought
Is anybody using the E17 as a dac between a computer and a Schiit Asgard? I've been having problems with noise/interference and it's driving me nuts. My setup is computer/USB -> Fiio E17 with L7 LOD (lo bypass) -> Schiit Asgard -> HD650. I've tried unplugging my wireless mouse, changing...- Mutombo

Schiit Asgard: Unboxing and First Impressions
As a follow up to above, I unplugged the wireless mouse and still got a lot of interference coming through the amp. Just wondering if the Asgard is sensitive to this type of noise when hooked up to a computer, since my other headphone amp is perfectly silent when connected via my E17. The...- Mutombo

Schiit Asgard: Unboxing and First Impressions
Been enjoying the Asgard for a couple days now. I haven't put it fully through its paces yet, but I am noticing quite a bit of noise/interference when connected to my computer with a Fiio E17. The noise is prominent when moving the mouse, scrolling, etc. It's a wireless mouse, so I suspect...- Mutombo

Review: Fiio HS-1 Headphone Stand
That's actually really cool, and great price. If I had known about this a few days ago, I would have ordered one instead of the $40 stand from Woo Audio. -

Denon D2000/D5000, MD2000/MD5000 Thread!
My wife borrowed my D5000's last night and didn't take them off for 4 hours. She's usually in bed by 9pm, and stayed up till almost 1:30am last night listening to music. I think we have a problem- Mutombo
