How do you find the Yulong? i'm thinking about getting one after returning the iFi CAN.
So far I like it. Listened for an hour or so last night using Rosson RAD-0 (great sound but not a good fit for laying back on pillow) and then the MrSpeakers Ether 2 (better fit for laying down but frankly sounded a little thin on bass) both through the balanced XLR output. The setup is dead simple with no fancy extra fiddling required (I can do plenty of that with main system lol). Some reviews I read mentioned it got very hot to the touch for them. It didn't feel extra hot to me and I wouldn't be concerned placing something on top of it temporarily.

I lucked across this in the head-fi forum so it wasn't something I chose from exhaustive research. More like quick research to verify it didn't suck before buying from head-fier. :wink:

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's been a bit hard to find much first hand comments on the unit.

My new edition of headphone stands in a row :)

There's a logic-bomb here:
  • You take a pricey/valuable bottle of whiskey, either unopened or mostly full...
  • And put a headphone on it (nice!)
  • But what about drinking from that bottle? The headphone is in the way of that
  • Of course you could remove the headphone temporarily while decanting the bottle
  • But the more you drink from the bottle, the less full it is
  • And the more unstable it becomes as a headphone stand
I foresee a tsunami of beached & wallowing endgame headphones

Luckily my journey didn't get out of mid-fi but I shouldn't have looked at all the hubbub as overrating that should be ignored. There's a reason every new planar flavor-of-the-month gets forgotten about while the 600 still spurs discussion to this day.

Although it's a bit of a last hurrah for this setup as I've gone with it solo for a while but I've decided to sell it (although somehow people seem to not really want it so I get to spend a good number more days with it than I thought) so I can afford a new speaker setup for my redone basement. If I were to go back to headphones I would get the 600 and a nice portable DAC/amp and enjoy the world with them

What speakers are you thinking about getting?

My wife recently moved her home office to the basement, so I can boogie in the living room now. Here is my humble setup.

(I'll have trouble getting that thought out of my head)
