Upgrade Path Suggestions: Jotenheim2 + D30Pro. $600 Max Funds Available
Currently have Jot2 and D30Pro. Sounds pretty good. With $600 available for an upgrade, would a new DAC such as A70Pro Octo improve SQ over the already pretty good D30Pro?

DIY or other Purchasable Mini Shelving/ Rack For Headphone Equipment? Any ideas?

Can I use an adapter to run single-ended headphones out of an XLR balanced amp output?
Bought an xDuoo MT-604 balanced amp. It only has balanced XLR inputs and headphone outputs.

Dragonfly COBALT vs.............Discussions
Ordered the Audioquest Dragonfly COBALT today. Will be comparing how it stacks up to my iFi Micro iDSD Black Label. Obviously, the iFi will trounce it but how will it stack up? I had the DFR and it was sort of sibilant with edgy treble. The COBALT will have the new ESS ES9038Q2M DAC chip...- Condocondor
