Here's my end-game. Well until I go tubes, ha. The Schiit Jotunheim and Modius dac just arrived! I had a plan where to place the Jot, but everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth, to paraphrase the immortal Mike Tyson. Arrrgh, short usb cables! Sure, just move the PC ;-) Don't worry, fellow Drop-ers: she's already hooked up and pissing off the neighbors royally! Good Lord its powerful!! Next up: balanced FOCAL Clear, I'll let y'all know how they sound, if I can come out from under the hood long enough ;-) I finally wrote the review: https://drop.com/talk/43807/focal-clear-review-part-1

Nice combo. Pretty easy to get some tube action in it by slapping a Freya+ between the Jot and the Modius. Set the Modius and Jot to max volume (unity), and use the Freya+ to control everything. Is wonderful. There is a night and day difference with my Rag2 when I switch from the passive or JFET stages to tube on my Freya+. Not as much noticeable with my PrimaLuna or YAQINs, but they're already tube. With solid state amps it is like having a magic hybrid amp switch.

Fayne Now I can't stop thinking about that tube version of the Norse goddess of love, sex, beauty, fertility, gold, seiðr (magic!), war and death. Wow, that beeeeeeotch keeps really busy! ;-) And its all your fault Mr. @Fayne! lol. Saving up for officially started now...

MrBurnett Thank you sir, you can believe I'll let y'all know how she sounds. The problem now is I don't wanna stop listening to the Jot and the Audioengines. I had no idea they could sound so sweet! I got the Jot because FOCAL expected me to listen balanced, they provided a ten-foot balanced XLR Neutrik cable (and two others and a hard case!) so of course I jumped on a balanced amp and dac. But these loudspeakers sound so damn good I might have to wait until tonight to try the Clear balanced. Big happy face! ;-)
