New cable for my headphone rig:

Hart Audio Cables has a cool solution to cables as one selects which "ends" one needs (in my case, 1/4" and 3.5mm) and they are connected by a 4-pin mini-XLR. So, if needs change or one has headphones with different connectors, merely swap out the "headphone" end.

Our goal is to make purchasing aftermarket headphone cables straightforward, fast and affordable by offering a modular system designed to maximize your headphone cable's versatility.

How are you liking those KEF Egg active speakers as "computer speakers"? I have the exact same color ones on my desktop at home.

New exhaust system for my 2021 Triumph Street Triple R. It's the Arrow performance exhaust offered by Triumph, already discontinued. I got one of the last 4 in the US, no longer available for order from Triumph USA. I guess they're switching to something from another company, probably Vance & Hines as they've used that company before.

Primarily driven by covid (work being busy, not taking flights for a while) we finally pulled the trigger on a ski cabin.

Man, that's a very nice home!

Very sweet!

Thank you! Got a 25% discount on it, and it's 11lbs lighter than the stock one. Just a tiny bit louder than stock, which is good as I "strongly dislike" loud bikes (and cars, and trucks.)

I bought a couple of these ROKU Ultras, one of which replaces a failing WD TVLive Plus. I use this to play my music collection to my bedroom system.

I ordered a Topping D10 Balanced DAC for my Macbook Pro M1 Max to drive my new speakers (Haven't event bought speakers yet). I ordered the DAC from Amazon.

When I got the package, I was wondering why it was so large, well the accidentally sent me the Toping E50 as well. They were both in the same sealed package. I am pretty sure it's not buy one get a more expensive one free LOL

The Topping E50 is actually a $269 DAC that measures like a champ!

I did contact Amazon and they weren't sure how to handle it, thank you overseas support, I gave up waiting on hold and being passed along, I will call Monday to talk to someone from US Support.

Topping E50 Review (Balanced DAC)

This is a review and detailed measurements of the new Topping E50 balanced USB DAC. It was sent to me by the company and costs US $269. I just reviewed its companion headphone amplifier, the Topping L50. The E50 takes my favorite orange LED display and makes it even nicer! It is a gorgeous...

When you get shipped something you didn't order, at least in the USA, it's yours to keep and you don't owe the shipper anything.

Enjoy it!

Did a little more digging, was surprised the remote had the batteries already installed and they were duracell, found it it was missing USB cables, I have a feeling these were either RMA returns or returns. Missing USB cable in the D10 as well. Sending the D10 back for a refund.

This was a similar problem I had with Topping. I bought one, it died and they replaced it. The next one was a completely different unit and had a different issue. I have not bought anything from them since off Amazon.

My S22 Ultra showed up 5 days early! I didn't really have any issues with my S20+ all these years, but this thing is pretty impressive actually. I have yet to really put the 108mp camera to the test so far though.

 

[j_garcia]

It showed up today.

I returned the Topping 10, and kept the E50 just to test out with my speakers until the new one came. I am still using my older Emotiva 4s connecting via RCA and the E50 It is working fine.
