I like the 'expansiveness' of your gear, lol.

Wow, that is a good price. It say frozen rather than Cryo, did they mean Cryoed? How stiff is the cable?
Yeah frozen or cryo copper is the same thing. The cable is not stiff at all, very supple in fact.

So my Rockbox’d iPod 5.5g finally gave up the good fight and is in DAP heaven :frowning2: meaning I no longer have a High Res source. I have my other iPods ( 6th and 7th gen classics ) with the AR Solo and whatever amp.... or that with the IBasso stack to give me a fully balanced rig but that’s 4 units tall which imo is overkill. And I just got some new cans and modified others so I’m using them more now... I needed a new solution and fast. It was a quick toss up between an Astell & Kern AK70 mkII or an iBasso DX80. I eventually went with the DX80 but the AK70 is still on the cards. Anyway. Enough of my yabbering. iBasso DX80 - My own interconnect using Nordost Odin wire, Cardas silver solder and Switchcraft jacks - Graham Slee Voyager - my own balanced to single ended pigtail ( 4 pole XLR to switchcraft jack ) - HiFiMan HE400 with my own Balanced cable.

And giving the Westone UM1’s some much needed TLC as I’ve not listened to them in some time. It’s actually a pretty nice match acoustically! And it doesn't always need amping.
