Currently have Jot2 and D30Pro. Sounds pretty good. With $600 available for an upgrade, would a new DAC such as A70Pro Octo improve SQ over the already pretty good D30Pro? And what about the Jotenheim 2? Would the amp or dac provide the best bang for $600? Suggestions Assuming, I could sell...

It's a shame Schitt Audio doesn't offer a mini-shelf or rack for their headphone equipment. Thinking about a DIY project or perhaps purchasing a small shelf/rack unit of some kind. Any thoughts or ideas?

Wanted to start a thread about iFi's Micro iDSD Black Label rigs vs. various Schitt stacks and other "All-in-one" units. I know many people have made these comparisons over the years, but my Black Label is "tricked out" and I'm starting to wonder: "How much better does desktop stacks get than...
