Deep, firm, sinewy bass - dimensional “sculpted” midrange - airy, extended treble without edge - all with a touch of tube “liquidity” and “sweetness”: my assessment based on V280.

Don't leave out the big, spacious soundstage (better than most SS amps) + dynamics that are large & in-charge...

Definitely true. More reasons why the V280 is my head & shoulders favourite S/S amp.

The same for me. I started with the entry level LP G103 amp ( smaller sibling of G109) years back, love its transparent and clean sound. Upgraded to V280 and simply love the transparent and slight warmish, spacious smooth sound. It’s my favorite amp to-date.

From your post it appears the support from Schiit is better than I expected

P.S. I can't believe @Pharmaboy didn't beat me to that one.

Ok well, I guess this also counts as a picture of my current system.. Was quite fun making the diagram. My wife didnt bug me for a while because she thought I was doing up a project for work...

*btw I do not have the Verite desert ironwood yet! Just decided to include it so I wouldn't have to add it in later.

My simple set up for my Grado SR325e : JDS Labs Objective2, Subjective3 & CD Player “Teac PD-H600”. With this simple set up I listen to music written & recorded in a simple fashion, live in the studio. This morning I listened to a couple of JJ Cale albums.

That simple set up reminds me of my period living in London in the 90s. I was living in lodgings while working in TV and I moved from one lodging to another quite a lot. I had a suitcase of clothes, a Mac LCII with its monitor and a SyQuest for backup, a box of CDs and then an audio system that looked a bit like yours but all the components were different. The CD player was a Meridien 206B, I had changed headphone amps several times but they were always solid state ones, the headphones were Sennheiser HD 540 Reference Golds, which I loved.

I listened to JJ Cale quite a lot as well

I still sometimes use my old Meridian 207...

Back in the late 80s, I used to have a pair of HD540s. Loved the transparency. Stupidly, I threw them out when the pads disintegrated (back then, I didn’t know they could be replaced).

Is it Verite Open or closed? I have closed one in Ironwood and its one of the heaviest wood around.

I don't think the Open's been done in ironwood.

I have a weird question. But looking at your system you seem weird too.

Do you think that the GS3000e reacts extremely sensitive to changes in the digital chain before the Dac?

In my experience my GS1000e reacts extremely sensitive to changing the streamer, changing dac input, reclocking, ethernet solutions while changing dac and amp itself doesn't affect it that much. That is completely weird.

It's also the only headphone that constantly moves from my least liked headphone to my most liked headphone and vice versa once i make a change.
