Nice topic @ktc !! Definitely thankful to be able to enjoy music the way I do and for this community (to which I’m especially grateful) which I thankfully found at the very beginning of my dive into headfi. It’s a bit strange to me being a life long music lover, getting a Walkman for Xmas as a kid when it first came out (still remember that…wow was I blown away) and having used various earbuds, headphones, etc. all my life for portable use (A La Bose, Klipsch, Sony, etc.) that I never knew this world even existed. I’d never heard of a headphone amp or dac and only ever used headphones at home out of my AVR from whatever I found at Circuit City. Found the first picture I took of my original setup (THX887, Smsl su-6, Xduuo Ta-20 and Arya) It was, weirdly, exactly 3 years ago today!!.. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/headphones/original/3X/b/9/b9dd4c37b7a6947d8385deb27942014c675f5587.jpeg) To this stack of Bifrost2, V280, and Lokius about 8 months later…. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/headphones/original/3X/c/2/c22513dfb6fdfaf4b02ec2dc93a614f65ddd7a3c.jpeg) To today… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/headphones/original/3X/5/5/5574633f8ca93c99edc65d8b8197e8d20c334b39.jpeg) I have so many here to thank for all the advice, friendship and just the fellowship of everyones love of music and the hobby. This really is a great community!!! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.headphones.com/t/giving-thanks/22418)._
