I’m curious, why do you have both versions?
Cheers.

I basically wanted to here the difference between the ohm loads, plus it was easier to drive the 80 mobile. And I like the all black

Welcome Bob. Spend some time on the Schiit website. You don’t need to purchase anything, but you will get a feel for how to get started.

Hi @11_Clouds , that’s an impressive list. If you ever get the time to write about how you ended up with this collection, and what you learned on the way, I’d love to read it and I bet it would be useful for people starting out in this hobby. The How Did You Start thread seems to be a good place for that kind of thing.

Unfortunately my use case means i need to stay transportable w/ my souces making everything a bit less straight forward to learn. Hoping to get te chance to try some higher end daps and maybe a hugo2 later this year though! Mostly just trying to figure out what I actualy need from a dap vs what I would like in it at this point tbh
