Looks like you're still rocking the Fiio X7. How's that going? I know you're just as fickle as me with your gear, lol.

X7 is excellent. Sounds better than the Mojo and the super expensive daps I have heard. Fantastic man, totally recommend it.

It's definitely on my list. After I buy my house in November, I'll probably grab one. I just have to be disciplined in the interim.

Picked up a Hifiman HE-400S with Focuspads in the classified section, excited to step up to the next tier.

Congrats! Let us know how it works out! \m/

@Hansotek If you get a chance, can you try to check out the new Schiit Jotunheim? I know you don't love their stuff, so I'm curious what you think of it. I'm definitely leaning toward it when I put my desktop setup together in November, if it's as good as advertised. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this thread who's really curious about it.

Absolutely! I'm curious about it too.

Been listening to grados a lot lately so decided to put on the lcd2 this afternoon for some prog. Hot damn!! These things are AMAZEBALLS

I'm experiencing a similar thing with my Alpha Primes. It's been months since I used these for long periods. It's like I always forget how freaking good these cans are!

The thing I miss about the primes that I have not experience in any other headphone is the sense of scope they have. They just sound epic, like I am sitting in the middle of a huge stadium at a concert. Not sure how else to describe it. Nice headphones for sure. If they fit my fat head better, and we're not so hard to drive, they would have been keepers.

Agreed. The Primes were vastly under-rated, even by Mr. Speakers to an extent. I have spent a little bit of time in Summit-Fi land, and the Primes do more than hold their own.

But hard to drive? Really? My small little Liquid Carbon has no problem

Yeah, no shortage of power there though. That little amp delivers way more power than spec.

Can we start putting together a sticky to give people recommendations on what gear to get at each price point?.

Or should people just buy a Mojo and call it a day?

A sticky post would be awesome.  Coming into a thread this far long is daunting especially when I'm sure almost everything has been asked, lol

The original post is pretty in depth and gets updated from time to time.

 

[crabwalker]

good call.  I saw the original post but wasn't sure if that was up to date.  I appreciate it.
