Too much Marantz last week...
 

 
 
 So I'm settling for this, this week.

I like that rack you have there. Where did you find it?

OT: If anyone is playing Payday 2, please let me know. Always need people to rob banks or cook meth with.

AH..  The Can Opener.  So I guess it does what it suppose to do huh?

Here it is... 

Looks a lot like my Pioneer VSX-1122, which I think has a perfectly fine (low impedance) headphone jack built in. How do you think it compares to the Can Opener - do those low impedance Pioneer headphones really play nice with all those extra resistors inside that little box?

I get better performance from the Can Opener when I pair it with my Crown XTi-1000. With the AVR, the difference is not pronounced. Although that last picture with the Pioneer is also current, right now I'm using the Can Opener in conjunction with the Roland Quad-Capture and the Crown. It benefits from balanced interconnects, and the Roland provides an internal clock as well as regenerated USB power—effectively isolating it from my PC. The sound is profound and this is the Can Opener truly "doing what it's supposed to do." The AVR does fine on it's own, as you point out. I had been comparing the two configurations.

I just took this photo:

Nice! I think the headphones are pretty cool looking too!

And just like that, the place became this.
