Your headphone system thread
 

Would be great if our members shared their headphone systems all in one thread for reference. :thumbsup:

Please list the headphones, amp and the rest of the system that drives them and brings you listening nirvana. :music:

I have a number of headphone systems, I’ll post a few shortly. :music:

Serge.......Here is my headphone rig in my office. Sennheiser HD800 headphone, Sennheiser HDVA 600 amplifier, Sennheiser CH800S balanced headphone cable, Wyred 4 Sound DAC2, Wireworld Silver Eclipse balanced cables, Wireworld Silver Starlight digital coaxial cable, Wireworld Aurora power cables for amp and DAC, Wireworld Platinum USB cable, JRiver Media Center 21.

I have 1500+ CD's and high-res music files stored on my desktop computer in FLAC. I use the USB cable to the W4S DAC2, then analog balanced cables from the DAC2 to the HDVA 600 headphone amplifier. I also use an Oppo BDP-83SE as a transport that feeds a digital signal via coaxial cable to the DAC2.

This is an enjoyable headphone setup that has provided me hours upon hours of listening pleasure here in the office. I moved from the Sennheiser HD600 headphone and Musical Fidelity X-Can V8P headphone amplifier to the setup I have now. No regrets. Pure joy.

Dan, I would have never guessed it. Looks like a dedicated headphone stand. :laughin:
Very clever! You get no points off for it. :thumbsup:

Fantastic collection Tony! I bet vinyl through tubes into 800D must be heaven. :yes:
Thanks for sharing your system with us.

Dan A great re-purpose :banana::banana::banana::banana:
