Have I reached my 'end game"? Gosh I am getting close. I NEED to be close, lol for the sake of my wallet. I LOVE these Focal Clear MG Pro headphones. Even with limited listening, I believe they are among the very very best dynamic headphones I have ever heard.

But as for my end game? My ears are so very much addicted to the planar sound. It may take one more dive into the deep end of the planar pool to see what comes back up with me before I am satisfied I have my end game 'phones. If I had known what kind of rabbit hole I was going down when I entered the head-fi world? I may have reconsidered. For a few seconds anyway haha.

Does the Cradle work for your non-Sony DACs?

Tomorrow may be different…

No, I’m not really done. I don’t think I’ve explored the full potential of my VCs and figure I’ll do an amp upgrade in the next 6 months.

I am, however, done with the woodwork. Mostly.

The oft-sought after "end game" is much like a white whale. We are convinced it exists, but few if any of us have actually seen it.

Okay, </snark>. I recently acquired a pair of the MGs, and I really love them! They get more playing time than my other cans, with the exception of my Aeolus.

Beautiful amp
Thank you sir. The build is amazing and the sound is even better. I will have try to write a review shortly. All I know is it is the best amp for headphones I have ever owned.


Remote Control for 1Z yet?
Not as far as I know, but the dock sits in a convenient spot so I am able to change the music I’m listening to without any difficulty.


Does the Cradle work for your non-Sony DACs?
The cradle only works with the Sony, the connectors on the Sony and A&K are different. The dock allows the Sony to connect to my DAC with a USB cable and charges at the same time. When I want to listen to the A&K in my system I use an optical cable from the 2.5 balanced out. I will be adding a Hermès streamer to my system which will run an I2S connection to the Morpheus.

Damn that is an amazing headphone setup. If that is not endgame already I don't know what is. It's clearly far above anything I could ever afford. I do enjoy the DAC/amp I have but I wouldn't mind "upgrading" to something else.

There is a remote but it’s import only. No need for a remote in your use.
