Saw the Price. Threw up a little :beyersmile:

I have some good quality ones I'm going to use. I'll check out those too - thanks!

Yeah, I like USB because of the convenience. I just ordered a Denfrips Iris today to give the I2S a go with the Pontus. I found a used one for a really good price. Many people extoll its virtues. It's hard for me to believe that it will do anything to the sound quality, but I'm a big fan of...

Yeah, it was broken. Just the USB board though from I can tell.

Not saying that you should drive out and visit them...but...😂

Yes. It has plenty power for the Susvara. Now admittedly, I'm sitting around 2/3 to 3/4 on the potentiometer to drive the Susvara. Still, it sounds great and it's really hard to find tube amps that put out enough 2+ amps to drive the Sus without costing $3k+. We'll see on the other 3 headphones...

Ha, Susvara. The only Tool is the guy wearing the headphones.

Another one? The MR just came out. How many versions of the same headphones are you going to make?

Got my NOS Tungsrams in. They don't have much of a glow, but they do work great. Current endgame is achieved. Everything sounds great and I have lots of good backup tubes if anything breaks. My initial impression with the JJ's was that the Pendant bottomed out on some bass - it felt like there...

Great buyer, no issues. Would gladly trade with again!

Yeah, I picked up a b-stock One Encore Plus (stupid name) from them for a pretty great price.

Mark it as sold 👍🏻

Me too. Current setup is excellent. I can highly recommend the Vanatoo for anyone looking for a desktop setup and they're relatively cheap too.

Well, I've had all manner of stuff and this is the first setup I've been content with in a long time. Those Vanatoo speakers are epic. They make the Susvara feel obsolete.

Current Endgame.

Current endgame, though I am waiting on my set of Tunsgrams EL84s to come in.

Great buyer, no issues! Would happily deal with again!

Well, the Pontus came in and so did a set of Vanatoo One Plus desktop speakers. The Pontus to Pendant to Vanatoo One speakers is an amazing combination. Absolutely brilliant.

Thanks, I think so too. Great set of speakers.

I liked the Qutest. It's described as a touch sharp by some, but I didn't really have that issue. My bigger issue was that it's not really designed for streaming 95% of what I listened to as the time was streaming. In retrospect, I should have just kept it 😂 it is a great little box, though the...

Pontus II should be here tomorrow I'm glad to hear it. The reviews are glowing to say the least and I didn't want another Qutest despite how good they are.

Everything seemed to work except the USB output. Input seemed to work, Optical worked, outputs worked from optical...just the USB wouldn't output. Very odd - even worked with Sonnet to try and fix it. No joy. Naw, I'm good. Too pricey and too long of a wait and too...much of me not caring.

Well, had to return the Morpheus. I have a Denfrips Pontus II on the way instead. Hopefully it works and sounds great.

Yep. Did that a couple times already. I'm really out of ideas. Very odd that it won't output. It's a shame because my G73-R came in today and I really wanted to test it with a Top-tier DAC. Still, it sound wonderful even from the Schiit Modi. Now I just need to find a DAC that works...
