This will be my first time attending this event. Should I be bringing a power strip or extension cables? Any other tips on what one should bring?

Most of my gear will be mid-fi and chi-fi gear.

Amps: Aune X7S, Xduoo TA-01B
Portable Amps: Monolith Portable THX AAA 788 Amp, Fiio Q1 Mk.1, Fiio Q1 Mk.2, Xduoo XD-05 +BL
Headphones: HD6XX, HD58X, HE4XX, Sundara, Audeze LCD2C, Audeze Sine, Focal Spirit Classic, SHP9500 w/Shure 1840 pads, DT1990 Pro, KSC75X w/headband mod, Koss Porta Pro X, 1 More Triple Driver Over-Ear
IEMs: Audeze iSine 10, Fiio FH5, Fiio FA7, BGVP DM6, BGVP DMG, Moondrop Kanas Pro, TFZ Galaxy 2, Tin Audio T2, Tin Audio T2 Pro

Is that too much gear? I can scale it back.

Bring your gear and have fun!!

Anybody want to hear the Meze Empyrean? I may be able to make it, but am not 100% sure.

4 pin balanced cable? then yes for me. Amp I might bring will only handle true 4 wire balanced connections. No 3-wire headphones - 3-wire will damage the amp.

 

[HeartOfSky]

Just found out about this. May be able to attend. All I've got on hand right now is my Andromeda-S, as I just lent my Atlas out to a friend for the weekend.

 

[HeartOfSky]

Cool, another meet, yay !

Can bring the Campfire Andromeda, Atlas and Solaris, Custom PVA Desktop Amp, maybe the Oppo 205, my Geek Pulse XFi randomly died about a year ago, so may be a new DAC might be on the agenda, r2r preferably.

See if you can get TimBimmer to bring his new Holo Spring v2 KTE DAC

Oooooh... I'd love to hear Solaris, as well as compare Andro-S to the original Andro. All I've had to compare with is the CK White, which I would like to have owned over the SS.

If I am able to make it, I can bring some Focal headphones and various IEMs I have that haven't been out yet like the Tin Audio T3 and some other random chinese stuff I get sent for reviews. I may also have the Brainwavz Alara planar magnetic headphone review sample then as well.

 

[Ham Sandwich]

I should be able to make this meet. It's a long drive up to Seattle for me, but worth it if good and interesting gear shows up.

New gear for me since last meet is a Cavalli Liquid Platinum and Oppo PM-2 headphones and AudioQuest NightHawk headphones

The NightHawk's are weird sounding but I find their performance with binaural recordings to be what makes them most interesting for me. It's a curiosity of a headphone.

Gear I will likely bring:
Cavalli Liquid Glass and Cavalli Liquid Platinum
LCD-2 Classic, HD6xx, Oppo PM-2, NightHawk and possibly one or two other headphones
Gungnir Multibit that has been powered down for many hours for the drive up to Seattle

 

[Muziqboy]

If I can make it, will be bringing a new DAC (can you guys believe it!) that I have been listening to since June of last year which I just recently tweaked & modified.

 

[gefski]

I hope to be there with hot-transported Yggy(B), with file delivery via Dante/AES as usual. Not sure what I'll do amp/can wise. Could bring some 1980ish Audio Technica Signet electrets, but would have to bring an amp or receiver.

 

[itsikhefez]

I will be bringing a RJM Sapphire v4 DIY amp. I think it less known around here and would love to hear people's thoughts on it. If I get my Aeolus in time, I will bring it as well.

Besides those, would anyone be interested in trying the AMB CK2III amp, Twisted Pear Audio Buffalo DAC (ESS 9038Pro) or Beyer DT1770 ?

 

[jwilson2398]

Be sure to bring your 600. It's certainly neutral enough to scale up beautifully with the higher end gear that will be there.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely bring my 600s.

I should make this if this cold I'm fighting is done by Saturday the latest. I'll be bringing mmm minimal gear, even thinking just bringing the Hugo 2 and a headphone and tapping someone's DDC as a source (I can take optical or coax). My DAP took an extended vacation of reboots.

Eric! New DAC?! I'm intrigued - did you keep the beast though?

Also if anyone needs a ride from downtown Seattle area lmk, I may be able to provide carpool.

You've got to hear this DAC bro. It edges out the Battle-worn beast even more after the tweaks and mods I did to the power supply and fed by the Dante chain.
The beast is not going anywhere though. That is a keeper.
Also waiting on another DAC but this one only takes optical in and is battery powered so hopefully will show up before the meet.

Sounds like somebody has been shopping with EC Designs ...

 

[Muziqboy]

You got me. Did my Sig. gave it away? lol
Just got curious about this DAC when I was browsing the net looking for an off-the-grid converter and this showed up.
So impatiently waiting for this to arrive and to see if I can improve it even further!
