Computer at home.
DAP on the move.
Files all CD or higher res. Various sources including LP rips.
Mostly LPs
CD rips on the secondary system or when travelling (ALAC).

Always buy CDs and then rip to WAV. I don’t like streaming services like tidal, they’re unriliable with the connection and they don’t have all the music I like.
I ripped my CD's to flac. At home play on my PC with Foobar or stream via Sonos speakers around the house. Commuting and at work use a dap with various iems or earbuds
Poang is such a nice chair, listening comfort for hours.

Thanks, cabinet took a lot of work. Ordered a normal China cabinet from wayfair, before building it I refinished all surfaces because I didn't like the stock color. Changed the number of shelves and spacing, ditched the flimsy shelf mounts for better ones. Once but built I put a bunch of steel L and corner brackets on to stiffen/stregthen everything. Had custom half inch glass made because the eighth inch stuff wasn't going to cut it. Replaced the solid back with steel mesh, used rubber grommetting around the holes I cut in the mesh for passing cables. Custom mounted 9 apc headphone hangers to the top and 2 on the side. Custom mount for the 2 nixie clocks. Magnetic lock to keep the kids out. Fixed the door so it shuts properly,
There may be stuff I'm forgetting.
But if you don't mind the work you can repurpose stuff for not a lot of added cost, and have something that fits your needs perfectly. The main expense I had was the custom glass, but I could have made wood shelves for cheap.

I was going to say it looks kinda like a server cabinet with all the black, the glass door and the steel mesh back!
Loving the nixie clock at the top

I actually looked at those, for the spot next to my desk in my office they were just too deep. I'm also not sure my wife would have gone along with the look. But if you have the room and can get one for a good price a rack is easily adaptable
