self intro
« on: 8 Apr 2018, 06:03 am »
I'm not as impulsive as I used to be, honest!
I grew up with Music / Hi-Fi lovers, I'm surrounded by friends, co-workers, relatives (except the wife) that are very supportive if not just as interested in my hobby
ever since moving back to Hong Kong, the biggest challenges are $$$ and space. In Hong Kong each square foot of living space can be as much as 20,000 HKD or more.  So, Hi-Fi is relatively cheaper but, if you don't have anyplace to live a great sounding DAC or headphones ain't gonna mean very much.
So after years of desktop, this is my first year back on the floor (kinda)
 
here's a photo of the desktop setup,


this is the current living room setup,


below is a list of the components used in the setup

iMac + HQPlayerDesktop3 + Supra Cat8 LAN cable + ethernet converter box + opical cables + ethernet converter box + Supra Cat8 LAN cable (with AQ Cat8 plugs) + Sonore microRendu + iFi iPower + Curious USB cable (USB-A - microUSB) + Hugo2 (black) + Inakustik Ref NF 202 + NuPrime STA-9 + Oyaide Elec. Across 3000B + Rogers LS 3/5a (15 Ohms) on ISO-L8R130 or Magnepan MG10 or Audeze LCD-3

my next addition is probably going to be the NuPrime ST-10

Cheers

    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

This M² could be worse, in my city its $1.600USD M² but the Customs charge on electronics are 100 per cent(60 Federal + 40 State) over product, ship and insurance values.(((
