Hisenior Mega5EST + HIBY FC6
Love this little R2R dongle, adds certain richness to the plugged in iem. In a prog mood, starting with A Perfect Circle

I love that FC6 dongle. It certainly adds richness and analogue warmth. It even runs (at higher volume, of course) my senns hd660S2 cans very musically. It can also take out treble harshness in iems but in a neat pleasurable way.
And listening with hibym300 dap - Fc6 - 660s2
This death/black metal beauty

Led Zeppelin III (1970) by Led Zeppelin - Thought I would pick an album I know inside out and upside down for a first listen through my shiny new Sennheiser HD800S and the verdict is three thumbs up! It literally is a revelation, clarity, imaging, tonality and sound stage are all on another level but my god do they get my feet tapping (plus a bit of air guitar). Currently listening to their classic blues, Since I've Been Loving You and it's extremely grin inducing: Bonzo's drumming seems so visceral, Page's guitar solo is just magical and Plant has never sounded more emotive, that heart rending scream just after Page's solo has never sounded so good. I was expecting these headphones to be good for classical and jazz but too clinical for rock - I needn't have worried, they are pretty damned awesome - I'm a very happy camper.

Another day, another pre-sound check listening sesh while I do my warm-ups. Running the 64 Audio A18t from my A&K Kann Alpha.
At the top of the queue is the 2001 classic that introduced me to Muse, Origin of Symmetry. One of my favorite albums from one of my favorite all-time bands. If listening to some Muse doesn't get you up and wanting to put on a good show, nothing will. I think of Muse as being something like the Zeppelin or Pink Floyd of my generation and in 50 to 60 years they'll be thought of in much the same terms as one of those timeless bands that will always have fans in future generations.
Super stoked and amped up to play tonight! I'm definitely feeling it.

Eddie LeVert may have been Rick James' idol.. Never noticed the similarities until the other day... The O'Jays are outstanding.Vali 2++ (WE 396A)> RS2x's. Another group that I heard on Sirius XM the other night and I wanted to give them a listen.

The HD800S is also high on my list, after I auditioned them
