messy desk, but now use an Aune S16 and a Schiit Vali 2 / Grado RS2e

Headphone Heights

Welcome to Headphone Heights, the place for all your ear bud discussion

apologies for the messy desk, and pipe tobacco ash all over the place.

However it is about the sound, not about the mess.

I had an Aune S16 DAC laying around, I tried it with and without the Schiit Vali 2. I prefer the Vali 2 as opposed to the built in headphone amp in the Aune S16. I also changed the tube in the Schiit to an Electro Harmonix tube. Because I like the neutral sound of the tubes.

One can argue whether the tubes makes that much of a difference but I believe it does. Transport is a Google Chromebook, which I use for my day to day browsing.

Upgrade is substantial over the same Schiit using an Audioengine D1.
