Oops, 21 days actually. 3 weeks, not 2. I’m as surprised as you are. My guess is someone’s Ltd VO was ready to ship when they canceled their order and I was the next Ltd VO on the list? :man_shrugging:

Yeah, desert ironwood. I wasn’t really intending to pick up another headphone this year, but I fell head over heels for the desert ironwood and just had to grab it before it got away. :heart_eyes:

It is. Picked it up second hand from someone local. One of the first made from the Bigger Ben’s.

Very nice! What amp(s) are you using with it?

When I got my BF2 it replaced an old Modi 2 Uber, and it was truly a “holy sh**” moment! And that was with an Asgard 2. I’m now rockin’ it with a Lyr 3, a really enjoyable combo.

Not very “audiophile”, but I’m enjoying them (I had owned these before and they were cheap, so it’s a win).

The Solitaire P is in first place with 1266 and Perun Rock. The second goes to Empyrean. The 3 way tie is going to stay. I’ve had two pairs of Solitaire and 1266 and sold the extras.

The RH-5 is a two Tube Mu-Follower Design, with 2 12AU7’s for the gain stage, so you get all that tube flavor, with Mosfets on the outputs. Tube flavor with Solid state like power and accuracy, what’s not to love?

Congrats and enjoy. Wonderful piece of equipment.

Wow! Congrats. I wait for your impressions. I think it will be my first not battery powered decent DAC in a short time. Enjoy it.
