RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis
@Aleksandar R. While waiting on the Immanis, I am not yet sure which interface I should select: one with 32 or one with 8 Ohm resistance. I will use the Immanis connected to a Pass Labs XA25 power amplifier. An amp which is rather similar to the Firstwatt J2. The J2 was also used during the...- townes

RAAL 1995 Immanis
You inspired me :wink:. No, not really, but you gave me the final push... I also ordered the Immanis set from headphone.shop today. Another Immanis will find its way to Switzerland. Mine will be mainly used with a Pass Labs XA25 power amp (Preamp is a Pass XP32). I will also try it with my...- townes

Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread
Yes, as MarkParity said, within Rigelian you use MPD. Here some screenshots from my settings when using Hotspot mode (but most of the time I connect to the available local network).

HiFiMan Susvara
If you don't own a Susvara yet but want to buy one together with a very good amp (which would not spoil the party for the Susvara), you could first try to evaluate which option might be preferable for you: 1) go with a Stax setup: Stax SR-X9000, Headamp BHSE. Total amount (rough estimate) ca...- townes

Sound is always a bit off-center for me, specifically higher frequencies. My advice would be to add a digital audio processor to your system. Example...- townes

When age related hearing loss tries to spoil the party... solved :-)
Born in the mid fifties I am into high end audio since the very early seventies. Meanwhile my hearing isn't anymore what it was. Overall I am still grateful for how it is, i.e. no problems in daily life, still enjoying my speaker setups. But with headphones the pleasure is reduced as the sound...- townes
