KenW,
Interesting comment on your Stello, thats what I found out, the Headroom Balanced Desktop Package really performs at a level way beyond what I expected to. When you throw in the price point, connection options and the small footprint this has to be the "go to" rig for balanced headphone listening. There are other options and I'm sure they are great, but I'd say the price performance of the Headroom Balanced Desktop is unique.
My only other tweak is to try some upgraded balanced cables to see if that improves things further, this rig has cured me of my upgradeitis afflication.
I would also recommend for anyone using a PC source (Foobar & ASIO4ALL) via USB to set ASIO4ALL and Foobar at 48K resampling... this manages to lift the performance of the USB PC as source up a few notches.
