OPPO HA-1 died (need advice on my short-list)
I've got a $1800 (Canadian) budget for a DAC/AMP setup and I've narrowed down my choices to two units. I'll mainly be using it to drive my HD800S (possibly my A5+ speakers if I decide to keep them). The two units are the Questyle CMA400i and the RME ADI-2. Pros of the RME ADI-2 - well...- elucidate

Any Canadians order from moon-audio before?
A few questions. Are they reputable? How hard did you get hit with duties/taxes? Any preferences for USPS or Fedex?- elucidate

Meet the Sennheiser HD 660 S
Since when is audio about looks? And since when is $500 considered expensive? To you, that might very well be the case but that's budget oriented mid-range pricing for most of us here.- elucidate

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
Looking forward to it. If anything, I'm hoping these will have a similar sound signature to the HD600's but with a much larger soundstage. One can dream....- elucidate

More like the Herman Miller embody :) Curious to see some first impressions. What's the ETA? I own the Aeron (2016 version) btw, best investment I've ever made.- elucidate

Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
@cskippy Hmm, alright. I guess there seems to be somewhat of a SQ plateau then regarding schiits mid tier offerings. I think I'll likely go the mjolnir 2/mimby route for now. Later on when funds permit I'll upgrade the dac. Thank you, sir!- elucidate

I probably should've mentioned that I'm using the HD800S as my daily drivers. The jot likely wouldn't be ideal then, eh? Cheers- elucidate

Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
Anyone compare the jot/bifrost mb to the HDVD800? I ask because I found a good deal HDVD800 (near mint condition) - that's listed for $1300. The second solution is the jotunhiem/bifrost multibit stack which comes to about $1200 before shipping costs. Is one inherently superior here?- elucidate
