Ampliflac playing 192k high res files
USB Hub-rocketfish (yes the hub and battery glow blue!)
Ext Battery-Newtrent
USB cable from battery to hub
USB cable from cck to hub
Meridian Explorer- from hub
Yamaha HP-2 and Etty headphones work just fine.
In search of Mid-range nirvana

+1 First-hand experience in finding your sound is not only fun but invaluable
