Some of us have acquired some interesting things over time. And there's only so much time... I'm guessing that not everyone is able to give all their gear equal attention.

There are some things that I have boxed and haven't touched in some time. I'm wondering what you guys might have that's going unused.

Huh, interesting!
As far as I can think of: a pair of DT 990 PRO, an iFi Audio ZEN DAC V2, a dragonfly black, and a pair of unique melody martian. Before I moved countries I had a pair of LCD2, an Audeze Deckard, a pair of Grado SR325e, and an iBasso dx240 lying around.

Both you guys are in the Netherlands... you should swap stuff.

I was looking for that D5000 at one point in the US, and I knew someone had it unused. Most recently, I was looking for a Schiit Sys, though I found one posted.

I have mostly IEMs going unused... Penon Fan, BSBAISS BS1, Cadenza, CCA CRA. Though some headphones, too, AKG K702, D5200, etc.

For me, I put them back in my system today. A Schiit Loki and a Nobsound switch box. Also, I had pulled out my LD MK9 amp to put up for sale.

Decided to put all the gear back in rotation.

@ajozi Made me put the K702's on, they're actually really nice headphones.

I have not tried many pairs but they are so good for classical. I only got them for listening to classical. Now I am enjoying Mahler symphony 2. Connecting to Singxer SA-1 is just the perfect combination for this piece.

Dan Clark Ether Flow C. Closed-back planars.

Bought these several years ago as a total newbie to this hobby. Open-backed gear ever since. Gathering dust.

My Grado SR325 -- gold-colored anniversary version of the OG SR325-- have pretty much been supplanted by my Audio-Technica ATH-R70X.

I should probably sell 'em...hmmm....

You should for sure. I'm going to list up my Penon Fan when I'm back home.

Portable stuff for me has been sitting more or less unused this year. Specifically, my Sony WM1A dap and Sennheiser IE900 iems. My professional life has changed quite a bit the past 9+ months, and I just don't use portable stuff anymore, though at least iems are something I can see myself using occasionally with a desktop rig &/or laptop.
