Nice gear, must sound great. Love my Matrix X-Sabre Pro Dac, detailed without being sterile or too analytic, especially paired with a tube amp.. Enjoy!
Just moved, set up my place of refuge.
Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...

Headphones displayed in a glass case - excellent idea!!

I wish I had the room to add one of those... But I guess if I had - I would probably add a 3rd rack for more amps
Is that a Dynahi?

It is! The SuSy dynahi is truly a marvel and can pretty much drive any headphone in existence with ease.
It does seem like the Dynahi should be plenty good for anything out there. I wonder what you'd really get from going beyond that.
I don't know where to put this, but I'm very proud of my collection of headphone adapters 
A. 4-pin XLR to 6.35
B. 6.35 to 3.5

Is D. a female 4.4 mm balanced to male 4-pin XLR balanced? If so, where can I snag one?...

Yes, it is. I bought it from Affinity Adapters on ebay:

He's a great guy to deal with, and his work is top-notch. If he no longer has the 4.4mm female to male 4-pin XLR listed anymore, you can ask him to make it for you. I had him make some Abyss to Utopia headphone adapters that I didn't see listed, and he made it quickly and shipped it quickly.
An overhaul to my walk-in closet converted to a listening room.
Added HEDD Type 07 MKII and redid the walls.
And my current big push to wireless....
And of course, I still have all my wired headphones.

Not up to some of what I've seen here, but still proud of where I'm at now.
On the left is a Darkvoice 336se that I have modded significantly (replaced all resistors around the 6SN7 socket, new power switch, stepped attenuator, replaced both octal sockets, replaced heaters with twisted wire, created a virtual center tap, elevated heaters, and put two cathode bypass caps in - the 'Fitz' mod). It's currently running a pair of GEC CV4079 tubes in the power socket and a pair of GEC L63 in the driver socket.
On the right, a Bottlehead Crack, totally stock, that I just finished. It's running another pair of GEC CV4079s along with a Sylvania 6SN7W.
They're combining to drive a couple of ZMF headphones - Auteurs in almond wood and some stabilized Verite Closeds.
Not seen is a SMSL SU-8 DAC coming from my PC, with Amazon Music HD in exclusive mode.
And hanging behind them are a cheap nylon-string acoustic guitar I bought as a beater to take into the office and a 1960 Gibson Melody Maker.

I like the word “now”..... ie, for the time being?...

And he’s not even showing his perfectly restored Dual 1019....
