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

Qobuz > E70V > Burson C3R > Focal Utopia
Still getting to know the Utopias, but i can say that i'm not disappointed or regret the purchase at all so far. Actually very happy that i was able get these for an at least somewhat palatable price from the classifieds.

Nope, I feel sorry for people not allowed to wear headphones at work :)

Chromecast audio --> Ifi Zen Dac V1 --> Ifi Zen Can --> Eikon

A surprisingly satisfying combination despite folks saying the ZMFs don't often pair that well with SS. And my, what a musician! Quite a sad trajectory - but my the wonderous emotion he evokes in the few works he left.

JRiver MC > SMSL SU9 > SMSL SH9 > HiFiMAN HE400i w/Dekoni Sheepskin pads for better bass

Immured (2011) by Advent Horizon - Same band as yesterday, though I did give the new Anubis Gate album a couple of highly enjoyable listens earlier but now I'm back to Advent Horizon and their surprisingly polished debut album. The HE400i's present a more delicate sound than the DT1990's with more airy highs but less bass impact but they are doing a very decent job of playing this album - my toes are a tappin'. :darthsmile:

I lately didn't have a chance to spend as much time as I would like with all my headphones however it is always great when after some time you can come back and enjoy (sometimes even discover) one of your cans.

Late night short listening session part 1: Lumin U1 Mini > M-Scaler > TT2 > Feliks Envy > Focal Clear MG

No sign of focal "metallic glare". Envy is such a great amp. I've selected Focals while Meze Empys could have been theoretically better, but I haven't listen to MGs for a while and it was high time to fix this.
