Can you put the RME and Jot 2 side by side instead of stacked? Then the monitors could go on top of the monitor stand and the DAC and amp could go underneath. I’ve done that in the past with a Monoprice monitor stand that looks similar to the one you linked to.
In my previous search for Schiit-sized stands, I’ve never found anything the right width. But I do remember one of the forum members building one, which looked really nice, so that’s an option too, if you really need to stack them.
My primary setup is very similar to @robson’s photo. I even have a Lyr 3 and Loki in the same left-right layout. The major difference is that a RebelAmp takes the place of the Asgard 2 as the support layer, and the Bifrost 2 is in the back. The RebelAmp is almost as wide as the top duo and would just fit alone on the top shelf. It seemingly wouldn’t fit between the posts on the lower shelf or bottom. It’s that big.
I am planning on this going in my library. And the shelf it will go on just fits the jotunheim foot print. So any stackable shelf would have to basically fit the jotunheim like a glove. Which this leaves too much extra space around it.
Schiit has also said the lokius should be kept away from the jotunheim. And, I plan to have BF2, Lokius, Jotunheim in a stack (if I keep the jot 2 as primary amp)
Hi guys, I’m currently looking for a neckband Bluetooth earphone and would be glad if you could give me some advice.
Important points are the following:
Budget - Generally up to 100USD (If necessary also more)
Source - 1 Android Phone/ and 1 Windows Laptop
Requirements for Isolation - not so important
** Connection** - Bluetooth
** Charger** - definitely USB-C
Requirements for Microphone - Very important, I will use the earphones for a lot of calls and meetings, so the microphone quality should be good.
Preferred Type of Headphone - in ear neckband Bluetooth earphone
Preferred tonal balance - Mid range, no particular bass or high frequency needed.
Preferred Music - mixed but mainly pop
Other information - I will use the earphones for mixed purposes, from zoom calls, to music, to YouTube and casual gaming on the PC. As I mentioned above, since I will use it often for calls, it needs a microphone with a decent quality. I don’t need a super duper high music quality, so I’m okay if it just has a decent quality for the price range. I don’t want to charge it so often, so the battery should be at least 12 hours and more is always welcome. The charger should be definitely USB-C since I don’t want to mess around with different cables. It would be also great if it would be easy to switch easily between at least 2 devices, since I want to use it on my Android phone as well as my Windows PC. The Bluetooth connection and pairing should be smooth and without interruption.
I’m afraid I have no experience with neckband IEMs.
I do own and use regularly a Shanling MW200 which I quite like. It is a little over $100 but it does not include IEMs, it is to use with IEMs of your choice.
It drives most of my IEMs pretty well and sounds decent.
There are Bluetooth neckband style adapters. They can fit a large number of IEMs. I’m hoping that is what you are thinking - the band holds a battery, microphone, and the IEMs - basically a cable.
If that’s the case, you can look for a good cable/adapter that has BT5 and pick up some decent cheaper IEMs. Most of these adapters seem to have micro-usb connectors to charge them instead of USB-C.
I currently own only open back dynamic headphones. To be precise, I have a Sennheiser HD800 S and a Focal Clear MG. I’m absolutely in love with both, but I’m confined to my bedroom for listening because I like it loud and my wife can’t take the sound leakage while she’s watching TV or on the phone.
So I’m looking for something that I can use with my portable DAC/AMP while walking around the house that will not disturb her. I’m considering 2 options, both of which review excellently. First is the Thieaudio Monarch and the other is the Audeze LCD-XC Creator Edition. I would love to see a head-to-head comparison of these two items. Why does no one do any unconventional comparisons such as this. I for one would like to see it and then more of it. I can only speak for myself but I’d like to say that the community would like to see something different like this now and then, rather than simply comparing like or similarly priced items.
