Hello,
Mine is an X-Can V8P, with Pinkie power supply, Emeral Physics DAC 2, Mojo Audio PC and Mojo ribbon interconnects.
I listen a lot when I come home from work - usually just before sunrise - and I don't want to bother the neighbors, or get evicted. My cans are Audio Technica ATH-W1000's and my audio monitors are Mackie HR824's. Video is via a Panasonic 42" pro monitor. My computer runs an i5 at 3.7gHz, Windows 10, VLC media player, Foobar, iTunes. I don't do many "upgrades", since I no longer have the money coming in like I used to, and what I already own is more than I need.
Late as it is for this thread, I would like to mention I just did something I suggest everyone with the resources (this is not cheap) to try. I replaced my Bugle Boys with a pair of NOS Heintz and Kaufman 7308's (with silicon dampening rings) and unplugged the LED. Great 7308's can be purchased for less than the $450.00 I paid for these rare gems, but these came out of my currently unused Art Audio Symphony ll amplifier, which I will sell some time after the Holidays. The improvements are such I will one day - when the spirit moves me - try my X-Can V8P as a preamp, and compare it to my ASL Flora EX DT and my Aum Audio LDR Passive with Paul Hynes power supply. I really think it might actually hold its own against these guys, and it should be a great way to spend an afternoon, eh?
The big volume control is very easy to find in the dark when I want to adjust the volume.
Happy Holidays.
