Current setup is not all black anymore. I really should wipe the Arcam though... it has smudges.

How do you like the Loxjie? Thinking about trying it out.. pretty inexpensive.

@Deftone Who needs stands!?! (TBH...I had to relegate my banana stand to its proper duties). Happy New Year 2019 All!

Love seeing 650/6XX/600 paired with high end gear, scaling is one of the reasons this headphone still lives on.

Holo Spring dac on bottom and "Oblivion" hybrid amp on top (from "modern amp build" thread, a different new approach to hybrid design ).

The Loxjie is a no brainer purchase for how much it cost. It actually sounds quite good through the balance out. I've had one for a month or so now. Sold the MCTH after I got the p20.

So I'm assuming it sounds better than the CTH?

I really like it with the Focals. (Balanced in and out) Not as detailed as the Arcam but it adds warmth that I like over the rHead.

It's different sounding than the CTH. I also use it on both my Focals and really adds "warmth" to the sound. Increases the low end and mellows out the rest of the sound. The CTH seemed to be more about opening up soundstage but leaner sounding to me.

I've tidied up my bedside headphones system a little using two wooden monitor racks stacked on each other - it worked out quite cheaply in the end compared to a dedicated equipment rack. I've also added a 5V linear power supply for my Topping D50 DAC. This is how all of it looks now.

Very nice. I was just a few minutes ago looking at the D50. Nice to see it in this context.

What is the device on top, some type of media streamer?

That device on top is a Bluesound Node 2i network streamer. I use it for Tidal HiFi streaming. I'll be doing some careful listening over the next few days to see if the linear power supply makes a a difference, compared to an iPad charger.

Look at what the cat dragged in

Happy NY everybody!

Wowee, The RAAL is out now it is?

Not so much "out" as "I have a prototype on hand" but yes, shipping for the first batch is going to start in January. I have a production version on order and Danny sent me his unit to get me started on a review.

I've got some impressions over on the Raal thread. Happy to answer any questions about these as well, since I've got the only pair currently in the wild.
