System Overview

I’ve had a few requests to update my setup since starting Hapa Audio. I realize that I haven’t updated my stuff in ages despite the fact that a multitude of things have changed. The main thing that has changed is I have drastically changed my listening habits. For one, my main way of listening is via headphones. I find for my work that it is much easier to pick apart the changes to my designs a headphone rig makes a lot easier to hear. Here is the setup as it stands today.
