Where did you get this from?

Aliexpress is selling that if not mistaken. Romi Audio online shop maybe too if you ask.

Here. It actually pairs nicely with the Hugo 2 on an aesthetic basis with the case. Same dimensions, too.

Heh, I'll have to take a better photo later for the money shot, so to speak.

These two do stack up pretty good! The R8 is a tiny bit less wider than the BX2 Plus, and I need to find a black case for both now!

What about going the tailor-made solution via a leather artisan?

With what do you feed the Hugo2? From laptop or a DAP?

The ATH-MSR7B is a good match for the BX-1. The AT being a tad bass-shy in essence, the BX-1 doesn't not add anything in that register, only clean power to shine through the DTR1. Honestly, I would have liked a bit more warmth and "oomph" in the lows (no @noplsestar, I won't get the HD8 ) Nothing serious, because this USD 200ish HP really is something in terms of sound, having all the base covered, with transparent and textured mids, controlled treble and yes, as @Nostoi said, superb imaging. I end this saying that the soundstage is realistic and natural.



...but the real surprise came from the earbuds Smabat ST-10S Gold. This is serious, I mean the bass and the open soundstage are inviting you to get up from your chair and rock the house. These earbuds are the bastards from clear/detailed IEM and bassy full-sized headphones. A V-shape SS? Not quite, because the mids are not scooped if you get the right fit, which is challenging to be honest, but highly rewarding at the end.



In both cases, the week-end starts on a "blue" note.

But of course you need to get the HD8! Ahahahaha. Then you would tell me that it has more bass whereas I would hear more highs

I would but the Dignis case that came with R8 does have this cooling grills that does help a lot! I did see a leather case for R8 without that but I think grills offer more functionally!!

From a Lotoo Paw 6k or a vintage ThinkPad. Currently triple stacking:

Nice!! This makes me ask a question here, noob one I have the Oriolus BA300SJP Tube amp that is 4.4mm balanced out, and I love the sound that has since it brings the tube lushness to the mids. Can I use that as a preamp? Connect the R8 as a source to it, and from BA300SJP to the BX2 Plus?

Divide and rule... to each device its task. I agree to this concept

what sound advantage do you get in mixing the Hugo2 into the chain? Wouldn’t it be enough to go from the Lotoo straight to the BX-2 plus?

It would absolutely be enough to have BX2 with the Lotoo (the Lotoo on its own also sounds marvellous). The Hugo2 is usually connected to my laptop in desktop mode. I would only connect it in this tripart configuration if I wanted to max out everything while lounging around. Or for a photo opportunity
