Yes, the Lian Li 011 Dynamic XL. It’s such a nice case. One of the things that I carried over from the old setup.

As somebody who was using a Sony A7RIV during the height of the pandemic as their webcam, this made me chuckle.
+1 for the fish tank. I’m a SFF enthusiast myself (NCase & Loque), but I really like the 011.
I actually did something I have been saying I wouldn’t do for decades. A couple of weeks ago I bought a Mac 
To be honest, at least around here, the specs I got in a Mac would have cost far more in a PC format.
But although the savings are great, it doesn’t make it any less of a PITA to get used to using it

Hint - Parallels Desktop, Windows 11 Beta for ARM, and a Logitech Mech keyboard that switches from Mac to PC layout…
Control + right or left arrow changes desktop, so you can run Mac and PC at the same time.

My current desk setup, which is subject to constant change.
My two current favorites are the FiiO K9Pro together with the xDuoo TA-22, which complement each other perfectly because the other one perfects the headphones with which the other shows weaknesses.
I think it’s called congeniality.
I actually only have the ifi Zen Stack for the HD650 and the DT880, since these pairings sound much more “expensive” than they actually are, fits perfectly.
I’ve had the Questyle for a few years and it’s perfect for driving my EDIFIER speakers and a large part of my in-ears.
The clinically pure combo is the S.M.S.L - JDS Labs pairing, which can reveal almost any weakness of the connected headphones or in-ears.
The small xDuoo is exceptionally good for driving planar in-ears.
The only “well” item on the desk is the Singxer, this sounds OK, but has no real strengths, but also no serious weaknesses, except maybe that it could use a lot more power.
Actually, the RebelAmp still belongs on the desk, but I have a different purpose for it at my dedicated listening position.

I am tempted by parallels but begrudge paying 100€ per year to use windows 11 (which is free and also pretty bad IMO). There is the one off payment of 129€ but it includes 0 updates. Hopefully someone in the not too distant future will offer something similar to bootcamp.
As far as keyboard (and mouse) I use the K850 (and M720) because of the inbuilt switch, as I am running a triple system (Win 10, IOS and Android).
It’s also just the little things that are not a problem but happen when swapping from Win to IOS, like scrolling up instead of down, close/max/min at top left, the Alt being the CMD, the Start being the Alt etc.etc.
You can change that.

That is good to know, thanks.
I think I have a lot to discover about IOS, which I think is another point to stick with it for a while instead of using parallel, at least to get to know it better and be able to complain about it in a more precise way

Perhaps licensing is different here, I paid the one off price for the ARM license, and it keeps giving me updates all the time. And of course, with Parallels, you can make another partition and run the Linux of your choice.
