Dear all,

First time posting my setup. It is indeed much modest compare with the ones I see in this forum but I hope I can demonstrate what I’m seeking at this point with this hobby. Note I started this journey on November 2019.

If one word could summarize what I’m currently looking for it would be **exploration**. I mean, to notice whatever nuance I could not hear in the pre-hobby days. That’s motivating enough for me.

**Goal:**

Rotate the headphones while having fun. _“Circus”_ below is assembled when I can afford for a few hours of pure listening. Typically it is just the 58X and/or 6XX as the daily drivers.

**Setup:**

FiiO K3 connected through USB:

- Google Play Music;
- Volume is controlled in the keyboard;
- 4 headphones playing simultaneously: leveling was calibrated with a white noise target of 85dB at 70% of Windows volume. Notice the decibel meter at the right.

Headphones from left to right and signal chain:

- FiiO K3 ▶ HD600 (2.5mm jack);
- FiiO K3 ▶ Coaxial out ▶ Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 ▶ SRH1540 and HD58X
- FiiO K3 ▶ TOSLINK out ▶ Modi 3 ▶ Magni 3+ ▶ HD6XX

**Misc:**

- Boss computer in the top. Quarantining days turned my desk into a cubicle;
- Due the reason above I brought Modi and Magni back home. They were in the office;
- There are still some empty desk shelves which I’m carefully assessing what kind of gear will occupy those spots moving forward;
- Due my OCD’ish nature I tend to keep things clean. This will pose a challenge to the hobby;
- Pictures taken on a Friday night accompanied by a cold [Vermonter](https://www.vontrappbrewing.com/) Pilsen. 🍻

Cheers.
