This is the Suzzallo Library at the University of Washington (Seattle). People often refer to this room in particular as the "Harry Potter Room" since it looks like the dining hall in the Harry Potter films. XD

Wow, there's even a Wikipedia page about the library. I didn't know that!

That's amazing actually...
 
This is the POS library I go to. The inside looks as bad as the outside.

Speaking of library, I have probably not been to a library for the past 10 yrs. Do we still need libraries since all the info can be found online or from your PDF collections? :)
 
This recabled D2000 is really growing on me. It pairs well with the cap-free DiyMod

& also the capless UHA for that transparency. The only drawback (for no caps) is some loss of the sound ceiling on the amp. With the amp on high-gain setting, it starts to sound distortion at 11 o'clock. I normally don't need anything beyond 9. When I do need extra dosages, the one with the 3,000,000 uf "green" caps pushes the envelope (absolutely no distortion to the max on high-gain setting).

Comparison between iPhone 5s vs Samsung note 3 use USB Audio Player Pro

Source : IPhone 5s
Samsung Note 3 use USB Audio Player Pro
Dac / Amp : Theorem 720
Headphone : Ultrasone Signature PRO
Music file for all : WAV
Gain in Theorem : medium
Equalizer : NO

Connection via USB :
iPhone 5s use lightning to mini USB : no problem all the time
Samsung Note 3 use micro USB to mini USB : I must try
Many times to have connection

Sound Quality :
iPhone 5s
High : more crisp than Note 3
Mid : clear and clear and not so forward like note 3
Note 3 has fuller sound less clarity compare to iPhone 5 s
Bass : better detail and clean bass , but note 3 has better bass impact and better bass body
Separation : iPhone 5s has better separation
Soundstage : iPhone 5s has wider , Note 3 has better depth

Overall :

Samsung note 3 with USB Audio Player Pro has fuller sound than iPhone 5 s ,
iPhone 5 s has better clarity and better music separation

These two have their strong and weak point

I prefer Iphone 5s than Samsung Note 3 , because I love
Detail and clarity , for long term music hear Note 3 can make my ear fast fatigue , because More forward and less clarity

IMO

I don't have time to read books but you are right those CD's could be interesting. Looking for my library card now.

Just don't rip them at the library.  I watched a poor SOB get read the riot act for that, just last week....

The F806 is a nice sounding player, well refined unit. The F887 offer similar SQ?

Well, the actual main reason I upgraded from the F806 was to get more storage space. So, I went ahead and upgraded to the F880 series while I was at it.

I traded in my F806 at Amazon to purchase the F887, so I could not compare side by side. The sound quality, however, is as good (if not better) than what I remember. Extremely superb :)

Hey Rudi, nice comparison as I'm debating getting a Note 3.

Also, when do you decide on the Theorem vs. doing the Solo/Duet tandem?

I really enjoy F806 which is a player that caught me by surprise, I was expecting nothing special, (maybe iPod level), F806 was basically an impulse buy to play with the Andriod, only once it arrived I heard this wonderful sound come from the headphone out on comparable levels (and in some ways higher) than Colorfly C3, far exceeded my expectations. It now has a permanent place in my stable and pairs nicely with my Rhapsodio hybrid. And it's a pretty sexy looking unit too.
