 The happy couple!

I'm such a nerdy new-dad-to-be that I noticed the Cybex Aton before the headphones! Love that carseat. Also, the headphones aren't bad either.

It's five times as pretty, and five times not a Chinese rip-off.

I'm pretty sure that is a Chinese rip-off too... the same thing as mine. The original one is very expensive. But still 60usd is an ok price.

I see that the Audeze is famous here, how is it compared to HD800 sound?
Also is that hifiman HE 500 on the right? How is the sound? I can't find this brand in HK, damn!

Night and day. I'd consider both two very different interpretations of what neutral sounds like. I prefer the former, but love the latter as well.

Damn, your collections are heaven! It will be a long time before I can afford such a collection like yours.
How is it compared to HD 650? I know it can compete with those 2, but just curious for the sound characteristic. I will eventually replace my M50 with HD650 or maybe Beyer 770/880.

We can enjoy the vicarious thrill from afar. It takes awhile to build up those collections and to decide what you appreciate best with your own musical tastes.

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with my setup in the current state.
 
Depends what sound signature your after? What music you listen to? Your upstream gear?

This is actually one of the cooler setups I think I've ever seen.

Now I listen to Susan Wong's music. But I also listen to oldies like queen's. But I also will game with it, CS, L4D, SC2.  Currently my gear only ATm50 and Senn IE8, planning to buy FIIO e17.

Has a nice pro audio look to it.

Thanks. It's taken a while to get to this stage. I use the Lavry for 2 channels of AD/DA conversion via the saffire s/pdif. The good thing about the saffire is that it also has 2xADAT, the second of which can be assigned as a 2nd s/pdif. Connects to laptop via firewire, a great mobile setup.
 
I use this rig for recording, mixing and mastering, all via the beautiful Lavry converters. If I'm recording more than 2 tracks simultaneously, I can also use the saffire pre's which are not too bad. I'm waiting on delivery of an API A2D, which has 2 pre's and 2 channels of AD conversion, which I'll run into the system via the 2nd ADAT as s/pdif. The A2D has inserts between the preamps and converters, so there's another layer of flexibilty there too...

Amazing! Well thought out...

I initially had problems driving the HD-650's from the saffire headphone out. Once I realised I could make the headphone out line level (+4dB) it made a world of difference.

My setup... pretty basic really. Macbook > D100II > HD650 for any serious listening. My Windows laptop has Foobar on it. Use the CX300IIs for outdoor/noisy situations and the HDJ-500s are just for casual listening.
