J. River Media Center -> FLAC -> ESI Juli@ (coax digi out) -> CIAudio VDA-1 DAC -> Meier-Audio Corda HEADFIVE -> Grado HHF-1. What a great sounding combination of components! I'll say it again - the H5 and deep woodied HHF-1s are made for each other...

I know how good that sounds - my HHF-1 and H5 sounds great together too. And they look good together as well!

they almost match the rich mahogony panels, and fragrent leather bound books in your library.

That's not as important to me, but it doesn't hurt either.

Indeed. Unfortunately they clash with my red velvet smoking jacket and solid teak humidor.

Doug, that's a beautiful setup. I have an RS-1 on the way so can I please have the H5 back?

Sorry John - MINE!

You'll just have to make do with the amp in that Zhaolu DAC of yours. Hopefully it has enough juice for the Grados.

Seriously though, I'd be interested in hearing how it sounds with the RS-1.

I hear ya.

Since the Zhaolu drives my K701's to insane levels it shouldn't have a problem with the RS-1. Eddie Wu is also doing some special mods to my new DAC board to increase transparency and add additional bass. I'll report back in two weeks.

Perhaps soon Merlin Olson will start coming to visit him on occasion.

Can't wait to hear your impressions. The wait must be murder!
