Running joke on my last project/job was that we would offer tortoise soup to the environmental department saying we found them on site when we started construction as there was a risk of finding a nest or two on the site which we would have to stop construction within so many feet until they were relocated.
Actually ended up with a nest on this job and can't work on that area of the site until they are relocated.
I've got to say it's really good. Now, I did change DAC and add the Jot 1 as a preamp, but the combination is great. And I've got plenty of headroom. The detail is magnificent, the soundstage is wider, and I feel that the mid range had filled in. Sitting here listening instead of working right now.
He was walking around with those leaves hanging out of his mouth for like 15 minutes, wondering why the tall pink things were laughing their asses off.

Actually, separation is off the charts as well. I'm loving this little amp, it makes these little Mordaunt Short speakers that were a drunken eBay mistake sound fabulous.
I just have to share this. It's a cover of the Jeff Buckley version of Hallelujah, my heretofore favorite version of the Leonard Cohen classic. This rivals the earlier version, IMO, and it Is very moving, especially when around a hundred thousand people join in.
Elisa also has a more understated but still sublime studio version and another live version - with coloratura singing - at the 2200 year old Greco-Roman amphitheater in Taormina. The former is on streaming services and both are on YouTube.
PS: there’s also a recently posted rendition by the wonderful Imelda May and friends (forming a vocal quartet) on Youtube.
Question for @Jason Stoddard: Can a Loki Mini+ 2 left knobs be able to approximate an EQ curve like the attached pic? The Loki Modius should having a 120Hz pot.

Jeff Buckley's cover was the first time I ever heard Hallelujah, it is interesting how it gained new life after that.
Many times a great cover will make people forget the original - as someone mentioned here a while back, Jimi Hendrix's version is far more covered than Bob Dylan's own version (and I'm a big Bob Dylan - and Hendrix- Fan as well).

Super excited! I’m still contemplating speakers.
Either semi open baffle Mark Audio Alpair 12, or a small “efficient” bookshelf. It all depends on the Wife AcceptancevisualFactor.
So, listening to VoicePlay (fabulous acapella group) on Youtube and I ran across the stairwell-singing Lauren Paley who was on one of their videos. She is a soprano but here is singing in TWO ranges. Very cool. So I thought I would share:
