  very clean set up!
 
But where's the chair man??

It's clean other than the ghetto towel I have pinned to the wall. It's my ghetto acoustic panel until I buy a real one. 
 
The chair is just not in the picture. It's this one:

Chair-fi?

Ha it was one of the first. Terrible for the internet but its been used as a music player for the last 4 years or so... Served me well!

If I understand well, you use the concero as a USB to SPDIF converter ... IMO it's a bit odd to use Beresford DAC instead of Concero's one unless you really prefer the Bushmaster as dac. but in this case, there's less expensive USB to SPDIF converters. 
 
Did I miss something ?

1) I've had the Concero for a while now and consider it to be my best DAC for use with various amps/headphone pairings I've tried.
 
2) Lots of reading and PMs led to my buying the Bushmaster MkII, to use both its DAC and amp sections with the HD600 and HD650, primarily - as I'd heard this is amazingly similar to the Bottlehead Crack + HD650 pairing - with solid state, instead of tubes.  Yay!  I'm surprised to learn it also does a pretty good job with the HD800.
 
3) The Bushmaster MkII only accepts Coaxial and Optical inputs. Given that I already owned a Concero (that can do USB to SPDIF), I have no desire to buy a less expensive USB to SPDIF converter.
 
Thanks,

Thanks for explanation . I understand your reasoning.

Aw c'mon Mike, you're just one step away from getting the Invicta and playing off SD cards directly so you can skip the whole computer.

Thought I'd get all social and share my "music room" setup. I half-broke the rule as these photos are not taken very recently (the first two here are film photos, actually), but the setup is 100% the same now.

Those are some really neat speaker stands. Are they factory, or DIY?

They're a pair of off-brand (and off-color, unfortunately) stands I got when I bought the speakers, I believe they're Korean made but I don't have any information on them other than that, sorry .

LOL  
 
You know me too well!  
 
But thanks for clarifying my thoughts!

Or since you're bit of a portable fiend, there's the Altmann Tera. I've never heard it, but considering that it's built buy a guy who's fanatical enough to write his own machine code to read and decode the SD cards... (watch out for that pricetag though, ouch!)

I've always had a weird fascination with the Tera. I've never heard or seen one at meets, but it's still a really intriguing little device.
