    LMAO, wine is probably the only alcoholic beverage where I NEED that free day after... at least the first half. It's that floaty bathrobe specter kind of drunk.

    Brits do turkey at Christmas: it's the tradition. Not very old, though. When I was a child, it was goose that was the tradition.
    
    I do enjoy turkey.

    Big deal for audio since AKM makes dac/adc chips for so many companies around the world. Fire raged for 3 days, 6 months at the soonest to come back online but likely years before they are back in full operation.

Boring Back Office Banker dude, woo.

My Preference is Warmish/Darkish Neutralish, if that even make sense (answer is no). I try to get to that goal by doing a Warm/Dark DAC with a more Neutralish Amp. Headphones will also do its thing on SQ, if I like it or not.

Computer Desktop Setup:

Note: This is for casual listening while on the computer, and when I Work From Home (WFH). So listening to random songs, 12 inch collections and also not really focusing on the album. Darker DAC being fed into a mostly neutralish amp.

Thinkpad X260 via Roon or Foobar2000-UPnP > Schiit Eitr > Massdrop x Airist R-2R DAC (RDAC) > Zampotech SW51+

Main Setup:

Note: This is for serious album listening and being analytical on certain songs to compare mastering or understand song structure. Sometimes to chill as well. With both the Computer Desktop Setup and the Main Setup I have two separate amps for two semi-different sound flavors/methods. Still good stuff, for me. Unlike the RDAC, I found Bifrost 2 to be on the Warm side with PI2AES. DNA Starlett is mostly a neutralish amp to me.

Roon or UPnP > PI2AES [Coax Output] or Pioneer DV-79AVi DVD Player (CD Transport) [Toslink Output] > Schiit Bifrost 2 > DNA Starlett

Headphones and IEMs: Senn HD600, Senn HD6xx, NuForce x Drop Move, Drop x JVC HA-FDX1, Sony WF-1000XM3, Sony IER-M9, Moondrop Starfield
