Has Schiit taken over naming things now?

Crud...why haven't I followed that thread yet!! I have do some catching up lol. Thanks!!

Hey @zach915m , what is that starwars-y /steampunk-ish looking headphone that pops up at about 3:39? Is it an prototype grill for the Bokeh open? Looks bada$$

Can't go wrong with either IMO, both are amazing headphones. easy enough to peruse both forums to figure which suits your preference best. Edit: forgot to mention, I think they both are an excellent compliment to the Auteur, but personally I think the Closed would be a good contrast. It does...

And I thought that Damocles was John Cleese's ne'er do well brother. Doesn't anyone have ANYTHING to post about Amps & ZMF??? Please for the love of God make it stop!

Is that a @L0rdGwyn designed DAC? (he asks as he wipes drool off of his keyboard)

Gotcha, Schiit makes some good stuff. I don't have much experience in the 3-600 range personally, but I have found that tubes are (in general) a great compliment to ZMFs. I had used the Massdrop/Cavalli Tube Hybrid for a while, which gave me my 1st taste of tube magic. I imagine that the...

What DAC are you using? In my experience it's important to consider synergy when you're trying to dial in a preference.

Not familiar with the Musette, and I've heard the Orchid more than the Onyx. The advantage (or disadvantage depending on your perspective) is that the Orchid is a tube based DAC, so there is some flexibility in fine tuning the sound.
