Man so far I have reached endgame - its probably mostly I have reached the end of what I am willing to spend on gear and I hope this last very long before I upgrade - its just a matter if I have more $$ I guess.
I have the oppo 103 which plays flac / hi res files - coax cable to a schiit yggy - xlr cable to a passive preamp luminous audio axiom II with caddock stuff - xlr to a nelson pass F1J amplifier - norne draug II speaker taps and headphone cable to a hifiman HE6
the hifiman he6 has the grill mod and sorbothane mod , and I use hifiman focus pads / and I also have audeze vegan pads , lohb's leather suspension stuff . I also use after market power cords
this is the best I can afford right now and this sounds so so good - but I also toyed with bought and sold sennheiser hd800 , audeze lcd x , audeze lcd3 , alo studio six , decware csp3 preamp , schiit Valhalla 2
no intentions of trying out the hifiman he1000 , audeze lcd4 , abyss . unless reddog lets me try out his gear LOL
