I thought it would be, I even got this cool little stool.
But my cat is now using the stool in the garage for his new cat door.
I was going to get another one, but I really don't need it.
I'm only 5'8". Maybe if I get a taller turntable...
What cannot be seen in the picture is that I use A5X with another DAC than the one on which the CD Transport is connected.
I have an audio-gd NFB11.32 bought some years ago and I use the speakers for it as a sound system for my PC. I really like the A5X and consider them good shelf powered speakers, at least for their price.
Now, the CD Transport is connected to a Chord Qutest for my headphone line. This is why I cannot say anything about it in conjunction with A5X. For its price point it is a good transport and gets the job done. I use it connected via optical with the DAC. Beyers T1 are in good synergy with Qutest and my tube amp. The CD transport I guess does not matter here too much.

Just added the Yamaha CDS1000 Natural Sound to the family. Already hearing a nice sound improvement over my previous transport, the Oppo BDP-103, which I will still use for my Blu-Ray Audio collection.
On order is the Inday DA4X-R spdif switch box so that I can toggle between the audio-out of the Yamaha and the Oppo (as the iFi iDSD Pro doesn't have separate inputs for coaxial and optical, but rather a combination spdif input).
The large metal bar at the bottom is to keep my irobot from getting stuck under the shelving.
Schiit Lyr with national (matsushita) 7dj8 (or Siemens gold pin e88cc, or...), HD600 with rear foam discs removed, Dekoni hybrid pads and custom wire. Sources (not pictured): SME 10/IV with Lyra Kleos, BAT VK-D5 cd Player (DIY 6-pak upgrade), iMac with audioengine D2 24/96 WiFi dac (I’m an experienced audiophile but a streaming newbie).
Thanks Man, but I must say you have been a guy I have taken inspiration from here in head fi. I have seen you carefully build your system around Aeolus with LP/ Crack and Gungnir A1 and tubes and how you stick with your system and try to get best out of it before jumping the wagon.
DSHA-3F is really a good looking and sounding amp. Mine is Padauk wood. You should see the one @tommytakis has got with all exotic wood work.
