Is there a switch, to turn off the annoying BLUE LED?

No there isn't a switch. But who cares, these sound fantastic.

Yep, still loving it, the Vega are still on one end and the 200Ti on the other !!!
The synergy between these three is staggering, so much so that I have zero thoughts of changing anything in this little chain.
If anyone wants to try this lot out, first you’ll need a DX200Ti......not an easy thing to come by seeing how there’s only 66 in the world,

Next you’ll need the ALO SXC-8 cable as it’s the nearest thing that I have that compares and finally the Vega......not so hard to come by.
@jerick70 don’t suppose this is your Ti on eBay by any chance eh

Nope I'm not selling my TI any time soon.

I've been really listening to my M5S and really loving it. Great sound. So far I haven't found anything I own that really doesn't good with it. I have my HD6xx balanced through it as I write this and just a wonderful sound.

Still getting used the Fiio FA1 and figuring out how it compares to others I have like the FH5, Lyra, and C6IEM.
Would've love to be at Canjam NYC but couldn't get the time away, not to mention the temptation from all the goodies one could get...

Beautiful looks on the Emotiva. Are you using as primary monitors or as secondary fill? Give us some impressions when you get the chance. What genre is their sweet spot?

Emotiva speakers look nice! Bet they sound excellent. Is that a Heil type tweeter?

According to the Emotiva website, the Stealth 8 has "an Airmotiv™ folded ribbon tweeter".

The 6 month wait is over! The Koss/Massdrop ESP-95X arrived today. They are playing now. PonoPlayer running straight into the Koss energizer box. I'm a happy- for now. Already thinking of analog power supplies, different electrostatic amp, switching from 3.5mm cables to RCAs, etc.

I wonder if Portugal The Man ever imagined this coming:

 

[barondla]

As fantastic as the Shanling M0 is, I couldn't resist the Massdrop Hifiman Megamini. It is scheduled to arrive Tuesday. Does anyone have one?

I'm using them as my primary monitors right now.

Very nice Indeed! One day when things are a bit more settled for me I will have a go, I came across this which i really liked
This is the actual bottlehead crackatwoa

And this guy polished the metal , chenged the wooden case and changed the nobs

Anyway who ever it was did a fantastic job it looks really classy I think.
Anyway dude great job on yours! And you have definitely given me the urge to make one.

Hey, that's my Crack! Thanks for the compliment

Your more than welcome to the compliment really is a fantastic job, very nice indeed! if and when I get round to a build and it might be sometime ahead then I might have to shout you on some pointers in the future.

Absolutely, I'd be happy to answer any questions. I did a build log on the Bottlehead forum, which has pictures of the circuit and such: https://bottlehead.com/smf/index.php?topic=10708.0

Just let me know, it's a great amp, but like you said, you are somewhat committed to high-impedance dynamics. My line-up is the HD650, HD800, Auteur, and Atticus. I love it

Yeah I mostly have easy to drive stuff but i would still like to give the build a go in the future and would consider buying something a bit more suitable to go with it...... would be nice just to build it.
