Just got mine yesterday, really surprised how good they sound for the price. Bought them as my lightweight travel headphone, but they might start getting some desktop love as well (don't tell my Utopias, they might get jealous).
Kids are out of town so dad grts to drag all his gear into the living room. Bedini mk2 150/150 pre and main are my co workers.
Marantz 2238b pioneer sx727 and sx1010. Klh model 24 and sixes. Hrt micro streamer ii+ from my pc. He4 and fostex build not currently being listened to because speaaaaaakers. They will later though, i missed speakers...poor me.
I know that it is not all head-fi but here are some quick and dirty shots of my current setup. I just got the Metrum Onyx and the Liquid Platinum as well as the Abyss Diana Phi. Gone are my Lcd 4z and JH Roxanne (both to good homes where they will be loved and used). Also gone are my LS50 and Arcam A38. they have been replaced by the Dynaudio Confidence C1 Platinums and Hegel H360. This was a substantial upgrade from the ls50 and arcam set up.
The Abyss sounds great with the Cavalli LP and Metrum. I am tempted to try and trade up to Pavane but I think that I am going to stick with the onyx for now. I think that it sounds better than the Chord Qutest. I was able to try the Onyx with the Mscaler today and I don't think that it made anywhere as much of a difference with it compared to what them Mscaler did with the Qutest or Hugo2. I am now a believer in R2R NOS Dacs. The Metrum just sounds more natural to me.
If anyone has experience with the Pavane and Onyx please let me know how much of an improvement there is with the Pavane. Is it worth more than double the asking price of the Onyx??

Very nice looking setup. How do you like the Hegel? Their products are affordable here in Europe, but when I was buying an integrated amplifier I didn't see many favorable comments about the Hegel so I passed on it.

My rolling head-fi station as it currently sits...added some amp horsepower recently.
