I picked up a second set of Yamaha HP-2 orthodynamic headphones from the ebay... interestingly, this new set has circular holes in the driver vs my older (and I guess less common) square holes.
Unfortunately, while taking the new set apart for cleaning/felt replacement, I discovered the driver has a gnarly crack down the middle. I guess I won't be able to give them a true comparison listen after all. :(
Coffee and Headphones, a decent way to start my day.
That's a heavily modified pair of Grado SR80e headphones, with Zebra wood cans, aluminum blocks/steel frame, and leather headband.
The latte is Cartel Coffee from #Phoenix.

Nachdem ich kürzlich in Sachen Head-Fi etwas eskaliert bin, muss nun einiges raus, um Platz zu schaffen. Come check this: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-bestandsliste.html?userId=18376635
What a time to be alive! £42.49 gets you a pair of phenomenally good earphones, the TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero:RED, delivered next-day! Kinda unbelievable really!
They just sound properly “right” to me!
Here’s my bedside headphone rig that I just put together:
MinimServer 2.2 (mostly FLAC).
Linn App (iOS).
Linn Akurate DS/1 upgraded to DS/3 (Katalyst) with QED Power Cable.
WBC / Gotham 20cm XLR Cables.
Drop THX AAA 789 Headphone Amplifier.
CustomCans 2m “Ultimate Cable” (XLR Balanced).
Sennheiser HD-650 with CustomCans Mass Loading mod.
I’ve got a regulated linear power supply on the way for the headphone amp too.
Lazing around this weekend enjoying the music 
Guess I'm done with buying head-fi gear for now. <3 #HeadFi #Audiophile #AudophileEsoteric
Anyone on here got Sennheiser HD-650, or Drop HD-6xx?
If you do, have a think about getting the mod kit from CustomCans; it’s a simple install, pretty inexpensive, and elevates these already great cans.
They now have more sub-bass presence which they lacked before, and all the bass sounds more controlled.
Everyone else has gone to bed and I have finally redeployed my 25 yo DT990s thanks to a new headphone amp. ZOMG.

I am always open to chat with like-minded individuals! 
So stoked. I was able to find a #FiiO M11 Plus LTD with 2 of the #AK4497EQ #DAC chips for a reasonable price.
.
Only 5k of them were made because of the chip shortage, and, after days of research (to figure out that this was the #DAP I wanted to get as an #upgrade from my #HiBy R3), and weeks of searching (on #eBay, #HeadFi, #Headfonia, etc.) I was able to find one. Shipped yesterday!
Any other #hifi nerds in my new ‘Donny circles?
My beloved #headfi #audio rig:
SBooster PSU > Auralic Aires Mini (streaming Amazon Music HD) > Chord Mojo > Stax SRS-2050II amp & “earspeakers” combo
Every link in the chain a second hand EBay or audio forum etc find!
Bliss
Other systems:
Mojo > Fiio FH7
Auralic Aires Mini > vintage Evolution X amp > Linn Kan Mk 1 speakers
