I'm in Winnipeg for a family holiday weekend but I didn't bring any gear. I'll pop by on Sunday if I can make a bit of time.

 
Too bad you didn't make it. Lots of shiny toys today!
 
Hey Viper, I managed to fix your adapter. Not only were the wires not soldered to the proper pins of the XLR (originally pins 2 and 3 were reversed), but there was also a short in the barrel of the TRS jack.
 
As a side note, if anyone comes across a used Wyrd or if you're ordering anything from Schiit in the future, I might be interested in one.
 
Now to decide if I want to start saving up for a Rag/Yggy combo...

Thank you for fixing my adapter, I'm not sure how the adapter could have passed Frank's QC with 2 shorts like that!

I think it's funny that while I was the first to hop onto the monoblock setup, my rig is now the smallest one...
 
I really like the Rag, but man I wish it weren't so big. I've been spoiled by class D speaker amps. My entry into powering the HE-6 was entirely off my Nuforce Icon2 which was both dac and amp. I miss when my entire rig was the size of a book

Hey guys, I'll be heading to Grand Forks next weekend. Anything down there you would like me to pick up? (or pick up from a depot?)

Sorry I couldn't make it to the meet, guys.  We had to split the kids' time between two divorced grandparents, so there was no opportunity for me to duck out with the car.
 
Looks like a nice assortment of gear!  What is the black stack, front and center in the first photo?
 
Maybe in the spring I'll see if my mother in-law wants to host you guys, so that she can compare her ESP-950 to the HE-6, various Audez'e, and HD800.

It was a really slick setup from Viper. He had a library of music on a usb drive plugged into the back of the Squeezebox, and everything was networked and controlled through his phone.

Well that's an interesting little diddy. There's a passing resemblance to the Bravo Ocean amp.
