Ill be perfectly honest, untill I received the Brooklyn DAC I never would have thought of purchasing another set of cans. But the sound is so utterly delicious I just can’t stop listening. So when the evening comes and im the only sole awake I need to use cans to continue my music. It continues to sound better with more burn in!

An hour ago I had a question about an SOMT product and called to leave a message concerning my problem. Just got off the phone with Crux and he answered all my questions happily.
Wow to costumer relations.

Evrything is happy in the cave per network audio. I’ve remover the DragonFly from system #2 and have installed the Meridian Explorer 2 DAC into the Windows 10 Laptop. Drivers are installed and sounds just fine. Next is to install Roon onto that PC as an endpoint. Should be easy peasy. Just have to get motivated! LOL

Wow! System #2 has never sounded so good. After incorporating the Explorer 2 (Full MQA ) and installing the drivers Im now running Roon through the Explorer 2 > UMC-200 > XPA-1L (2) > KEF LS50’s plus a 10” Klipsch sub Fills this rather large room up with beautiful music! upload img

Learning curve on the Mytek Brooklyn seems to be long due to its vast abilities. Learning more every day. Today I played with DSD and disengaged the MQA which prevents other filters from being used. I never realized how much was actually recorded on so many LPs burried in the details. Most are apparent on well taken care of vinyl but there is a certain darkness behind the digital track. I’m not talking about snap, crackle, pop, its something else. I can’t put my finger on it. So similar yet so very different.

I can no longer listen to my rig at work, it SUCKS and is now intolerable to my ears! Yep! Spoiled is an understatement. TA-100 to BloSE cubes via Pandora! Arg! It took my breathe away. The Pain and Agony of it All!!!!
This system was palatable for some time but now that Ive been listening to the new rig I just can’t do it anymore! 🤮

They have arrived. Not sure how much time they’ll need for break-in but they are playing. Much harder to drive then my other pair of Sennheisers. Much much more comfortable! Very light as well. I may need the 6 watts that comes with the balanced output of the Brooklyn. Stage and depth are very nice! Seperation, Hoo Yah!

The new upgraded Sbooster MKII Power Supply just came in. First batch in the USA. Can somebody say Turbo Charge that gear. Purchased specifically for the Mytek Brooklyn, just fired it up, cold out of the box, my jaw is resting on the floor! I just had NO idea that a power supply could make such a dramatic difference! It’s one of those Great, “WTF” moments. Sbooster claims break-in period is 100 hours,,,ha,,,,,ha,,,,ha,,,,,, Its going to get better? GeezzzzUS!
immediately the bass jumped out at me! Im befuddled! I just can’t explain this Schiit! I don’t drink and I’m not on drugs! Stone cold sober! And its one hell of an improvement, mind you my system wasn’t lacking much of anything that I could tell of!
Im going to sit back and soak some of this in! 😲😁🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼

So, the older model HE 4XX was a 2.5 mm but now that I have a 3 meter balanced cable the day the Planars arrive they’ve gone to a 3.5 mm jack! 😲😢 Time to return the cables and find the correct sized set!
But Im enjoying the first couple of LPs so far on my first ever listen to planers. Very large spacial sound! Wide and deep, need much more time now! Whats happening to me? Next thing ya know I’ll be ordering an Emotiva Classe A Headphone Amp! 😎

Free basic room correction.Give it a try, the price is right and its easy if your using Roon, JRiver or Audirvana.
I’m trying it now but it will take some time for my ears to adjust to the new sound. Its not a huge difference that I can tell yet but I’ll need time to pick out the differences/improvements/ shortcomings.

You want to jump straight in to at least a used pair of HD800!! Even the non s version is rated one of the best headphones in the world! Amazon has it for $500 with Prime which means you can also return it if you don't think it's worth it! Hehehe
