        I agree, people have one setup they used with a laptop. I personally hate that, so my weaker high value setup is on my computer desk while my PI setup has the BF2 > Starlett.

        Have you tried the Mullard EF184s yet? Adds a bit more bass and body. Great combination with the Auteurs.

      Just because it is balanced it doesn't mean it is better...took me seven years to get to this point. One point in time I was I NEED BAL!!!

        In 99% of home setups, balanced/SE doesn't make any difference (obviously ignoring implementation in any specific piece of gear). In other words, buy shit that you think sounds good and don't pay too much attention to BAL/SE.

        For amps it kind of depends. For DACs though there seems to always be a positive going balanced. Even if there's a really good SE version, the balanced version is better.

        Back about ten years ago I was the drummer in a dub band. So much fun. But in relation to your status, I remember the first time I met the lead guitarist and singer. He came in from university, with a duffel bag. He said "man I've got to figure out what this stuff is!" I thought he meant his books, or something. He then opens the duffel bag and 5 *pounds* of weed fall out. He was talking about the strain , lol.

    Boring Back Office Banker dude, woo.

    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 neturalish 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. Two separate amps for two different sound flavors/methods.

    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, Campfire Audio Andromeda, NuForce x Drop Move, oBravo Cupid, Drop x JVC HA-FDX1, Sony WF-1000XM3, ZMF Auteur

    Portable Setups:
    Sony ZX2 > Drop x JVC HA-FDX1 or oBravo Cupid
    Sony WM1A > Campfire Audio Andromeda (inside the house, normally)
    Phone > Sony WF-1000XM3 mostly with sometimes NuForce x Drop Move
