Jude,
 
How lucky are you?  How about you talk to Jack about having that sent to me next so I can compare it with my Woo WA22!
 
BTW-Thanks for all the good work here.  I, as well as everyone else really appreciate the site and all you've done.
 
Wow.  I just hit 500 posts!!!

LOL!  And yeah, the iMod isn't the best source I have, for sure, but it's the only one that is spouse-approved for the bedside rig.  The Leben gets approval due to its good looks.  And she gets that there has to be a pair of headphones, or there really isn't a rig

  But a big ole' DAC?  No chance.  And the iMod sounds better to me than a tiny little portable DAC would, although I just got the Pure i20, and I'm looking forward to compare it's built in DAC to the iMod.
 
 


Consider yourself lucky Rob. My "spouse approved" bedside rig is my iPhone + Westone 4s.....that's it. Not even a Headroom Micro AMP/DAC setup.

Yeah mine is the Hifiman 801 with JH13s and even that gets a scowl.

No amps or dac's yet because im just starting my audiophile carrer.  Those are akg k220m's on the jelly belly machine, skull candy's on the skinny guy (I know, I know), and koss dj100 on the
 
 
 
fat guy.  Also a pair of skullcandy fmj's on the crazy rat looking thing.  Im in the process of recabling my friends hd 428's which are taken apart on the table.  And the box on the right is a power pack for speakers not an amp or anything.

Here is a couple of piccies of mine



 
For the next few days at least this is my current setup.  
 
Source:                O2 Joggler running Squeezeplay and modified asound.conf, LittleDot DAC_1
Amp:                    LittleDot MkV
Headphones:       Sennheiser HD650, Koss Pro4AA
 
I have gotten myself a vintage headphone buzz after my restoration of the Koss 4AA (Details here...), so I have just bought a pair of Koss ESP/6a that are in need of repair.  I am looking forward to hopefully restoring them and adding them to the family.
 
The Joggler is a much hacked item with additional cooling (Details here...), and a USB output added to it (Details here...).
 
Not the most imaginative choice for my main HP set, but the LittleDot/HD650 combination is pretty awesome to my ears!

That was a nice read, like a trip down memory lane. I had a set of those back in the day. How do they hold up to your HD650 sound-wise?
