Suopermanni Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I dont think i can host, not enough room and certainly not enough power points and stuff! Looks like we are defaulting to Benjet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Benjet Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Ok, we’ll make it for the morning of the 8th. Let me know who is coming so we can finalise numbers. The 8th is next Saturday so if we could have people rsvp by the 6th so I have time to prepare. I’ll pm all participants with my contact details and address.

Indie Hi-Fi Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Can't wait for Sat. I really need to sort out my work headphone setup. I'm out at a mine mon-fri. Want the best quality but need to be concise too. At present it's a full blown spaghetti fest with ext hdd > macbook (with roon) > HA-2SE DAC > Fostex HP-V1 > ZMF Eikons (curious cables for usb but also need to use USB-C adapters for MBP). Hate to not have roon with me but ideally i'll condense it all to an ipad feeding flacs to a single box (lyr 3, Hugo 2, iFi iDSD Pro, etc). Got use of a Hugo 2 last week and, although it's an amazing DAC i still ended up running it through the fostex for a bit of tube goodness. So Lyr 3 with MB DAC seems an easy solution but i wonder if i've been ruined by a taste of a premium DAC in the Hugo 2. The HA-2SE now just doesn't cut it. So keen to hear as many DACs as possible at the meetup and get ppl's thoughts on condensing the chain. Also i'm loaning a Naim Atom for the weekend so will bring that along. It's for my stereo but will be handy as an endpoint and I hear the headphone amp is really good. Anyway just getting some discussion going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Benjet Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I mainly use two different amps for headphones. Both are diy, one made by me and another by a fellow sna member. I was looking at a Hugo 2 recently but wasn’t convinced it would be a great upgrade. I’m always on the lookout for new gear, although I pretty content with my current setup.
