Roon offers a really good libary interface for usage. Although it may cost a fortune, but after upgrading all the headphone and DAC, getting Roon is the next best choice to get most of your listening experience.

That`s a looooot of money you put into your source gear... Is the Aeon 2 your only pair of headphones?

I’m experimenting with couch side listening. So far it is pretty good because I can mute the tv and turn on Roon and then back and forth etc as I like. Only problem is the noise floor with the laptop fan. I’ve been looking at bridge solutions like RoPieee and the iFi Stream unit. Not really sure how to defeat the fan noise other than going with a more expensive solution like a dedicated network player. Even the raspberry pi has a fan although I’m not sure how loud it is. Suggestions welcome. The nice thing about the laptop and Roon is that it is running the laptop touchscreen which is nice so I can scroll easily. It’s not ideal but it’s working at the moment.

Quartersawn oak table? I'd like to see pix of the side/facia, which look interesting.

A fruitful journey into the State of Solid…quite the hpa / hp pairing, to boot !

"Blues and the Abstract Truth" !!

Apart from that very popular recording, Oliver Nelson was underappreciated in his lifetime IMO. I loved his straight-ahead, big-tone reed playing, and his arranging was even better, if that's possible.

For arranging, give me Oliver Nelson, Quincy Jones on any day ending in “y”…

Exactly.

I would add Gil Evans and George Russell to the list.

Happy Sat ! How do you like my purple LCD5 ?

What are those speakers? Thanks.

Great setup and picture. I have been seeing the M500 in a lot of pictures lately. How do you like it? Anything to compare it with?

Well I don’t actually have a direct sound test comparison but I was looking at the EX5 and DX7 Pro from Topping when I bought this. They both have a stronger headphone amp compared to the M500. EX5 has the Q2M Dac and then the DX7 pro has the 9038Pro ESS like the M500. I didn’t need the 4-pin connector on either options, so I went with the M500. To me it’s sounds great with the pi bridge and sundaras. My next upgrade path would be to something like the Hugo 2 or TT 2.

Here’s a pic with the final setup. Picked up the FLIRC case from micro center this morning. Using either my phone or the iPad for the remote. Makes it much more clean than the laptop and silent in comparison.

Axis Voicebox S. Several reviews out there. https://6moons.com/audioreviews2/axis/1.html

A picture that shows it better.

I revamped my listening station today. I removed one amp, that I am selling, and put two splitters/switchers back in. I think I am pretty set going forward, except maybe changing the Loki to a Lokius.

Current setup. Windows PC > Chord TT2 > Benchmark AHB2 > HFM Susvara or Arya V2. Loving the combo.
