I have had this setup since 2015. No lies detected.

I have been away for so long... is this thing still a thing? Can I come?

Thanks for the write up. Curious as to why you did not have the volume pot on the 800 all the way up? 100% out the DAC and do volume control via the amp... honestly volume should be 100,100, whatever (whatever being the amp)

This made me start to laugh and then I got really sad. I hope he is having the time of his life right now.

I see the Nimbus and at first glance I just want to pull the card out and order it. Then I realize that at the end of the day what I have right now headphone stack wise is way overkill and I just cannot justify the Nimbus. I really would love to read your take on the amp as it seems wicked. The...

Ah the infamous volume relay sound. I have been paranoid about it but was told its fine and after a while it won't bother you. It really is hard to do research on it as not many really talk about it.

I completely missed you were using a DAP as your DAC. I would look into a dedicated DAC you already mentioned the V850 and I will shill out that my stack since purchase a few years ago has been the V281, V850, PPA V600 all those feed into HD800 (The original non modded) and the only change to...

That is a great milestone.Congrats to the hard work and dedication of your team and company. I hope you bring joy to many more for many more years to come.

Very nice. I asked for black feet glad to see silver is an option as the gold looks tacky. Post impressions as I am interested in what others think of the 850.

Nice! I am curious how you like it as I love mine and it has been a solid part of my chain now for almost 4 years.

There are so many great used gear options at this price point. I don't understand the blip in the knock off discussion as it pretty clearly is a thread dedicated to the amp and not the clones.

At that price point there are options. Schiit is always good and you can even look around and with a little patience you could possibly find a V850 used at the top of that budget.

It would help if there is a price range. The definition of reasonably priced varies widely especially in niche hobby communities.

Only for headphones.
