First post and attempt to show a picture of my setup.......

I have a comfy corner in the sitting room and the laptop is on an Ikea table. When I am surfing I listen to music off itunes or Spotify through the Firestone FubarII DAC and Supplier to an X-CANV8P and AKG K702s. Or I have a modded X-CANS which I can plug an ipod into with a GQ-24 interconnect and I tend to use my Grado SR80s.

My Audio-GD setup. C-2C (Phoenix on the way), Sangean HD radio tuner, Ref-1 DAC and FBI-500 integrated. Can't get enough of that Audio-GD value!

Here mine:

Yes, that is Gelato.

I'll post a newer pic when I get my A5's and stands. Hopefully.

The QC2 are only there because I like their noise reduction. SQ severely lacking.

(Sorry for the crappy picture quality. Used my camcorder.)

The A700 is blue. The AD700 is purple.

Ya sorry for the horrible quality. My sister was using the camera. I'll replace this picture tomorrow with a better one.

Don't you hate it when you can't find/get the camera?

Some great looking setups on this thread, keep 'em coming! Here's my modest home-office setup. The desk is home-made, as is most of the room really...

Main source is a Squeezebox3, with CiAudio VDA2 DAC/psu, feeding a Mapletree Ear+ HD2 (custom) and a Naim Headline2...

Cans consist of Headphile woody MS2s, Koa Darth Beyers, Senn HD600+Cardas, modded Senn HD25-1s...

It's a multi-function office. Here's what's at the other end of the room

...

The 42u rack holds all the gear for the home cinema, and that silver PC near the bottom is running Windows Home Server, with 3 x 1TB drives for music etc...

Now I know what a loft is really for. Looks amazing.

Thanks mate, it's actually the top floor of a barn that's next to our house. It was pretty derelict a couple of years ago, but obviously had potential! Guess why I wanted to buy this particular house

Yup, exactly the word to describe it best. Let's hope you can upgrade to something better soon.

Nice!!!
Why do you use the SB3 fed (right next the computer) by the media server?
Wouldn't you rather use your computer fed by the media server?

@ pedalhead, one word "killer"

The PC is also hooked up to the DAC (it has dual inputs), but sometimes I want to be doing something else on the PC & not have the music affected by stuff like benchmarks running, reboots etc. Originally, I thought the sound quality was likely to be better via the SB3 rather than the PC, but actually I've done A/B comparisons & just can't tell any difference between Foobar/WASAPI out from the X-Fi card and the SB3 digital out.

Oh, and thanks for the kind words guys. If you wanna see some more pics & a video of the room, take a look HERE.
