Well it's good for it's price. Solid driver.
The pots are not so linear in my unit, I hear a slight jump from 1 o'clock and up.
Overall it's pretty basic 2in 2out, 2 preamps with phantom power, dac for recording, you might want the 2i4 for more outputs.

Hi Vitor,
 
How do you like the Genelecs?! I have them on a list of potential 'computer' speakers for my office. Just debating between passives or actives. 
 
P.S. I think I sold you an iPhone like 4 years ago.

Quick shot of my work setup.
 
Fiio E7 DAC
Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10
Ultrasone HFI-780
Ultrasone Edition 8 Palladium
Woo Audio stand

How do the 780s and Ed.8s compare sound wise? I've heard they're pretty similar despite their price differences.

I honestly haven't put on the 780s in quite some time, and certainly not since I purchased the Ed.8s... I should do a comparison soon.
 
The reviews of the Ed.8s I've read on here were accurate. They don't blow you away in any particular facet, but across the board are very good as well as having exceptional build quality and aesthetics. If I had to guess I'd imagine they are more detailed, accurate with better highs. I'd guess the 780s have a slightly better low end and much wider sound stage. Just a guess from an amateur though.

I actually just tried them head to head for a bit.
 
The Ed.8s are more superior than I had guessed, the 780s seemed to have some abrasiveness that on the Ed.8s is completely smooth, in addition to having a more detailed and full sound. I think the bass on the Ed.8s is accurate and punchy, but doesn't have the low rumble that the 780s do (albeit maybe a bit muddy?).
 
I also find the Ed.8s way way more comfortable. My two cents.

Ah, I see you've purchased a Magnum case from my friend Jim who runs CaseLabs.:) How is it?

 

Jim really does make some of the best cases out there, its a pleasure to work with! On top of that, he is doing a custom one piece bezel to combine the main case and pedestal for me. Truly a great company he has started, you are lucky to have someone so innovative as a friend.
 
Also, thanks to everyone else who commented, im on the home stretch now getting the video cards in!

What an EPIC build! What´s in there? :)

 
Thanks!  Its taken a long time to come together.  Its super quiet, even when the CPU and videocard are working as hard as they can.  That was really important to me.

I'm really enjoying them!  Highs don't bite my ears and they have sweet mids.  The bass is good enough - I haven't felt the need for a sub.
