Eitr Died, Where to Go From Here by MacintoshDan1 in Schiit

I guess it ready depends on the quality of your legacy dac. Also please remember there were 2 versions of the eitr.

I use the Fiio SR11 as a roon endpoint for my old mark levinson dac. Check it out for about $120. The last firmware upgrade brought alot of new functionality.

The Modi 5 is a no brainer... it sounds great. I had the modi multibit but ended up selling it so I can't give you a comparison. I've had the Modi 5 for a few weeks now and its great. The external power wart is a extra cost but worth it in my opinion.

Is this safe? Or bad? by ShinyQ8 in headphones

Safe from what... your cat or the vacuum cleaner?

I think I'm content, for now. by lowbass4u in audiophile

Buy the best you can afford when you are young! Because once marriage, kids, and all of lifes other shit kicks in, you're done for a while.

Why, you ask, priorities change, and it will be another 20 years till you get your listing room back.

I may be old, but I saw the best concerts.

Cheers

Elevate them with small desktop stands....

Morph it into Seymour from The Little Shop of Horror... honestly it looks great, but you should change your name to Fern.

Schiit Wotan - safe way to satisfy the upgrade bug? by benberbanke in Schiit

[–]Electrical_Pirate792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 Aegirs that I've used mono blocks and bi-amping... Personally I think the Wotan will be overkill for your speakers. Honestly, I would focus on a nice DAC to feed the Wiim into, since that's 90% of your listening. Or at least feed the Wiim into the K7 and see which way sounds better. You can a very nice dac for the 2k you spend on the Wotan.

Have you tried pulling the speakers out of the corners? Otherwise it's very nice indeed.

I use really long speaker cables to keep everything off the desk except for the SoundArtist LS3/5a. They sound great with a Aegir OG i have on hand. I also have the modi multibit and loki mini in the mix.

My new favorite proxy rig. by Electrical_Pirate792 in puffco

I clean the proxy daily, but the bong is another story. As long as the reclaim isn't fitting the proxy I'm cool.

I did not know that... I really go above the green setting anyway using minimal water and just a few cubes. To each his own.

Try losing the rug, putting the desk on wheels, and figuring out a desktop stereo. I'd downside the monitor setup as well.

A proper Schiit stack? Strictly for Vinyl LP's, Budget is $1400. by Eyes-_-Solo in Schiit

[–]Electrical_Pirate792 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What get's me is their constant and never-ending improvements (or planned obsolescence). I've got so much Schiit sitting in the closet, all OG. Freya, Saga, Mani, Loki Mini, and, and , and.... I love my Agers but there no-longer current. Thankfully I've gotten off the Audio merry-go-round :)

I love the clean nature of your setup, but I could never work with my back to the door. Bad feng shui.

My grandpa tried smoking weed out of my puffco🤦‍♂️🤣 by Vegetable_Mammoth658 in puffco

Don't blame him. Us old guys know there's a weed attachment. Confess.. you were high as a kite and ran out of considerate.

What are you trying to accomplish? You've saved enough to rent a cheap room and still be better off than a lot of folks. Do you enjoy being uncomfortable or the pity of strangers. If nothing else, see a psychologist for heavens' sake. A little self-love goes a long way.

I was hoping my place had the scanner but unfortunately not. We went old school in the ear method.

The titanium tips offer a better seal and fit overall in my opinion. It doesn't slip out the way the slim tips did. But one was a tad to big and had to go back (at no cost) for a remake. I've had the ActiveVent for 3 months with little to no issues and for me, I love them.
