I pulled the plug on a 2nd headphone system. I went for an Allo Boss DAC (pre-built) and a used Schiit Asgard 2 (thank you creimes !). Interestingly, the pre-built Allo DAC that is fully plug and play cost less than me buying the parts and building it myself. It even comes with the microSD card including the OS of my choice and installed ready to go. I am excited to try it. Mark

Bought a pair of Focal Aria 926. To replace stuff that I can't tell about... Congratulations! Hope to hear your thoughts after you’ve had them for some time. Got them a week and half ago. I really like them so far. Much much better than what was there before. No sub needed for me. They sound nice with anything I can throw at them musically, from African stuff up to classic rock and metal stuff. I still need to work out the sweet spot a little bit but my listening room is just a bit too small. I should be able to expand it by 2' in the next few weeks.
They are fed by a vintage Bose 1801 and a Emotiva PT-100. I would like to restore my 1801 but I first need to find something to replace it while I work on it. I might have found an used Emotiva A-300 to put there... I'm still not decided yet on how I will do it.
