For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

Tonight a bit weird setup since I don't have an access to Rockna WaveLight but I've got finally Rockna WaveLight Server for testing... earlier it has been Mojo 2, but when I drained the battery I've switched to original Chord Mojo. I've been listening to both using Meze Advars and honestly it is hard to say which one is better in terms of synergy, at this point I think I cannot point a winner or looser. Haven't been listening to Mojo OG for some time and as always: coming back to it is a great pleasure. After spending few hours with Mojo 2 and switching to Mojo OG I can hear that difference in clarity, winder scene, blacker background, better detail retrieval, scene being more 3D and in front of me etc., but I still enjoy the sound signature of the OG. It is really hard to beat it, there is something special about it. For those interested I've been running Mojo 2 via USB while Mojo OG via optical output of the Server to compare different outputs.

Roon > Rockna WaveLight Server (aka WLS) > Chord Mojo (via optical) > Meze Advars

As a side note: Roon complexity takes all the fun out of WLS installation. Wish more manufacturers would truly focus on music like Lumin does.

A progressive take on some great classic rock songs. It's very entertaining and well recorded. :L3000: :guitar: The Year of The Cat is one of my favorites on this album.

Nice one, it's a new one on me - I will be giving it a listen later, after I've watched a movie

Floating Point (2008) by John McLaughlin - Something of an east-west fusion as most of his band are Indian and the mix works brilliantly. The first thing that stands out to me is the drumming and percussion, very intense and quite different to western sounds. Then there is the addition of the occasional exotic instrument which completely changes the overall sound and just makes things more interesting. McLaughlin himself is in fine form but is also quite content to step back and let the others take the limelight when needed. The RS-1x are doing wonders with the percussion, detail for days and the imaging is quite stunning. :darthsmile:
