Tell us about them then! And post pictures when you can!

My first real HP was the Grado RS2e that I bought at a local dealer and liked for quite a while. Then I got interested in other stuff, went to other dealers etc. one Day I had the opportunity at a different dealer to hear many different higher end HP (Empyrean, Verite etc) and I fell in love with the Diana V2. For one year I had the V2 with the Felix Euforia and I like it a lot.

PS next to the Grado I also own the Meze 99 classics.

Volume on the 3XP at 99 and music is playing?

Not quite.. The volume was set low on the RME otherwise my ears wouldn't forgive me. The Burson is a new addition and I'm still figuring out how to run them together best. Right now I'm running the Burson on the headphone power amp on Medium power so I control volume through RME solo now.
Btw, nice set up

Yeah, but I heard the microphone sucks.

You totally missed the fact he got the upgraded model with windscreen. I have never seen one in Europe!

That 3XP on the picture is not in headphone power amp mode. Check the picture I have just shared. You should see that sign on the display and not the volume numbers.

Set the RME to fixed output and control volume at the amp.

Set the RME to fixed output and control volume at the amp.

That is an option as well, but the Soloist 3XP has a function called 'headphone power amp mode' when it completely bypasses the volume stage, so the volume can only be controlled on the DAC. For this @jms91 you need to press the menu button for 15 seconds. But make sure you turn the volume down on the RME, otherwise it will be way too loud and can destroy ears/drivers.

Not in the picture no, but it's on the same display as yours now. Was excited to get it all set up! Amazing combo so far and very happy with improvement over running the Empyrean solely through RME.

That is great, but doesn't quite explain the picture. So on the picture the amp was at max volume and the ADI-2 was not set to 0 (fixed) output level (as it should be in normal mode)?

Nothing new except the Shako beanie and my renewed loved for D2 via D2r. Listening to the Focal Clear OG > HP8 > ADI2 tonight.

Never heard of a Skako beanie.

After 10" of googling, I'm still not sure what it means, beyond the fact that it's some kind of headgear and might tie into a computer game (and you can buy them on Etsy).

You see the + sign after the Shak?

It's Shake, Rattle, and Roll. Just not enough real estate on the hat for the full slogan.

I just realized you only googled ten inches. You should have gone the whole 9 yards

Nice clean design to this space. Muted colors, with a little splash of green from the baby snake plant. I like that mini rack, too.

On the opposite end of the clean spectrum, here's my station which in a rare moment has everything in one spot and cables running amuck (mostly because I've been moving the schiit stack back and forth a couple of times this week). The HD600s are the latest addition and will probably be going to the work desk along with all of the other Schiit on Monday.
