Love your signature Wolf. I’m not the only “old, cranky person” on this site.

Put me in the club!

ADI-2 DAC is getting serviced because of a defect. This setup also works well in terms of sound quality, but I'm missing the quick EQ and remote.

I don`t have to luxury of a dedicated head-fi space here, so it`s a some kind of all-in-one homeoffice/computer-stuff/music area. Thought I share it anyway.

Normally there is a office chair of course but I have this ikea armchair I pull into reach of my headphone cables when listening to music exclusively

The left monitor (and the docking station behind) is the homeoffice part, to the right is my personal stuff. Since the desk is adjustable in height I can also listen to the active speakers in the low armchair by moving it down to 60cm. The monitors are floating and mounted via something like this mechanism to the tabletop. Therefore there is place to put in stuff underneath. I have added Hue lightstrips to the side an the rear of the desk and the shelf next to it to be able to vary the lighting depending on what I do.

There is a RME ADI-2 DAC, a Burson Soloist 3XP and (still) a Topping A90 amp. Behind the left screen sits a Intel NUC with roon. On the wall to the left I have mounted some short boards and this is where I store my over-ear-headphones when not using them. (Arya, VC Closed, Clear & HD660S)

What cable is that for your VCs? Love the setup!

Thank you very much!

It`s one of those in 2,5m length, so that I can use the armchair also with the VC

New amp combo from Ferrum arrives. It consists of the power supply unit Ferrum Hypsos and Amp section Ferrum OOR. Both unit look really nice with the glowing logo and small monitor. Matching glowing logo with the dCS DAC unit.

Out of the box, it already sounds great. However, I will let it run in for at least 100 hours to allow all components fo stablize before intensive A B comparsion. Generally very sufficient amount of power for hard to drive planner, at the same time maintaining great control of all the power it is dishing out.

One thing that is really good about the amp is even it pushes out 8w into 60 omhs, plugging in sensitive IEMs to it is dead silent. With the volume nob at the lowest level, there are zero channel imbalance heard from the IEM. All I wish is the amp could come with an 4.4 mm output together with the XLR and 6.3.

The Ferrum Hypsos is only slightly warm when turnned on. But the Amp OOR is slightly on the warm to hot sides of things. It gets really warm to touch when it is on.

Have a couple of friends coming over tomorrow for an afternoon listening session. Moved all my stuff out from the study to the lounge, so everyone can chill together and listen to 3 systems/headphones at one go. My wife said "u better remove all that s**t after tomorrow".

Wide angle lenses do alter reality.

I'm guessing one would need a pumpkin head to use the headphones on the far left.

Apoligies if you have a pumpkin head in-house.

Added the Devialet Phantom in matte-black to the desk setup... it's very large but worth it and the bass is incredible.

Doing an extended stay at an Airbnb while we figure out where to settle down. Majority of my gear is tucked away in a storage unit many states away so I took my "mobile" set of the Shanling M8 and the Emypreans. At first I was skeptical but the M8 held its own quite surprisingly. Still, I longed for my desktop setup, missed my beloved ADI-2 FS.

Didn't take long browsing Headfi where I discovered that Schiit had released updated versions of the magni/modi to my surprise. This was near and dear to me because this stack was my first foray into this silly hobby, powering an HD598 after almost dismissing the cans completely because of how bad the experience was listening on a plane ride ...sigh oh the naievity back then.

In any case, longing for a desktop setup I picked up the magnius and modius as an almost tribute to those simpler and less expensive times.

For a second there I thought your phone was an eight track cartridge . Just shows you how old I am. Nice set up BTW.
