Christmas and Hanukkah: Robfine's Updated Portable Setup
My wife and daughters came through this year and hit a veritable home run in the Christmas and Hanukkah gifts department. As I've mentioned before, good portable setup(s) are very important to me between a lot of business travel and two daughters living at home (which means many more trips to various malls than would be my preference. My AK120 with Shore se535 LE (and Silver Dragon cables) has been my mall survival kit when combined with my iPad mini. So what did Santa's helpers bring me?
Onkyo DP-X1 DAP (which can hold up to 432 GB of music) Chord Mojo DAC/amp Audeze Sine headphones (and third party travel case) The Mojo will probably get more use with the AK and my iPod Touch since the Onkyo is supposed to have a pretty powerful amp. The Onkyo and Chord are getting their first charges-- I'll report back after they get a bit of use. I'm a little frustrated that I can't use the Audeze's just yet because they sent them with the wrong cable and I have to wait to find out if they are just going to send a new cable or make me send the headphones back to send me a new pair with the right cable. Nothing worse then looking. It not being to touch. Oh well, things could be far worse. Things should be figured out by Tuesday. All in all a great Christmas/Hanukkah! ...and. A Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all of you! Robert IMG_0401.JPG

Congrats on another great headphone setup Robert!
My girls are 2 & 5. So I have a few years until I'm in your boat and will need a good portable setup for mall adventures lol. |
