    All Drop sells now are meh audio equipment, some headphones and computer keyboard parts. It hasn't been the same for...well, since CEETEE was there.

    @joch It was definitely more exciting back then to see what was coming next. I also miss the EDC/pocket knives.

    @DigMe - totally forgot about knives. I also enjoyed the apparel collabs (boots / jeans / etc.)

  First day impressions: the Hiby FC6 is a great dongle. I can't believe how good portable audio has become.

    worth it to add this to reinvigorate the debbie-does-dongles loaner tour? I'm interested, at least.

  The synergy between the Magni Piety and the 7Hz Timeless is something to behold.

    It's pretty warm with the Bifrost 2 OG, but still... I guess I should upgrade to the new card since it's known to be closer to neutral.

    Yet I'm curious about the Modi+ or the upcoming Modi Multibit for a more elegant stack. I have the original Modi Multibit on hand (V2 with the dithering chip), but it's kinda too organic and not resolving enough.

    Ooh I need to give that combo a try! (7Hz and Piety)

  Not surprisingly, the price of the Asgard 3 has increased by $50.

    Not that I like any price increase, but I am surprised they were able to hold it down for as long as they did.
    
    I know I'm probably imagining things, but I still like the Asgard 3 just a bit over the Magni Heresy I have at the office.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    
    It's a fair price for a good amp.
    I'd still buy one if I didn't have more amps than use cases.

  @iFi audio Are you working on a USB to S/PDIF converter? I would love to see a well implemented XMOS based converter.

    What about the Matrix X-SPDIF 2? Somewhat pricey, but seems to be pretty well built. Plus I2S and AES for the future.

    At that point though, may as well get Bifrost 2 :-)

    The Matrix is interesting, but the price is too much for me. You're right. I should probably sell MM, Eitr, Modius (not sure yet though), and save some money for a BF2 + shipping to Canada (argh!). I really wish I could give a second life to my MM. I love the better imaging, depth, and the thickness/note weight of the MM compared to the Modius. The Modius has better technicalities, especially because of Unison.

  Is it possible to order the posts of a thread by the number of likes?
