Really happy DX320x works fine with you as happened with me, I don’t miss M9 at all.
I love it with AMP14 but I really like with stock amp too.
Pretty sure it’s not the best dap in the world but has an amazing value for money IMHO.
Value for the money is right where I live! I base all my systems on that!

Plus it matches very well with Thunder 🤭
Yes it does! I have been listening all day to that combo... Yesterday I tried the UM MEST MK II and the Focal Celestee headphones also both very good.

Since there seems to be an explosion of Japanese woody headphone interest here the Audio Technica ATH-AWKT is supposed to be here today looking forward to that as well.

I also have a 42 inch 4k monitor on my home office desk, and I was thing about upgrade to 48 inch OLED TV as my next monitor. One suggestion for upgrade: your office chair, Herman Miller Embody, or Steelcase gesture.

I like the two speakers you have, since my wife hate any loud noise in the house, it is impssible for me.

+1. It's a fantastic cable. It came with my Allegros and it has made everything I've demoed it with sound better.

Eclipse sound like a massive open back headphone at the moment, with a deep and visceral sub woofer - unreal. Maybe I'll finally become a cable convert, courtesy of @PLUSSOUND!

Just got the Penon Impact back from @DanielListening so I will have it in NYC if anyone is interested in demoing.
Unfortunately, my CanJam attendance is always a last minute decision depending on my schedule, but I'll be sure to hunt down you and the rest of the 'Cooler gang if I can make it.

I hope you make it! I would love to meet you.

In other news Fat Freq kit hit Canada today-- I should have it Monday or Tuesday. Custom Art tour kit shipped out today-- won't have that one for Canjam unfortunately.

Unfortunately, cable matching is case by case, that adds additional cost to this rabbit hole.

Stumbled upon a open rehearsal by some vocal group in St. Patrick's cathedral ... Music was ok... Th real interes to ing th is ng was the acoustics in the cathedral with the ok I've performance ..very humbling ..the harmonics and resonances are just really transparent... I've heard the church organ here...makes your organs vibrate

JVC HA-FWX1 has shipped from New Jersey! Excited to hear my first "wood" set.

Congrats!

Good memories, I had one of the earlier JVC HA-FX1100 which I sold in 2018. At the time, I thought It was a specialist for acoustic instrumentals and classical music with pretty significant mid-bass hump. It would be interesting to see how I hear it today.

Here's the history of it. I remember seeing the FW10k, drooled, and said "No way I'm paying over 1k!" 🤭
