This is not my primary system, but you can enjoy it for hours on end. Audirvana Plus is serving up HiRez tunes

Of course it isn't.

  It may not be perfect, but you would have to spend lots of $$$$ to do better. Most people would stop here and just enjoy the music.

    Oh, I stopped long before that.
    Wound up with bottom of the line Woo WA-6. Tried some planars including the LCD-2 V1, Mr. Speakers Ether Flow, HD-800 (never really converted to Senns), some other dynamics. I'm in a good place and you seem to be in a good place.
    It's all good.

      That's what its all about. Our ears/hearing is all different, especially as we age.

        Yes indeed :-(
        
        Looks like a terrific system. However would you mind if I suggest something? Find a way of not stacking the headphone amp and DAC on top of each other. There will be electromagnetic interference between the two and after all of the care that you have taken with wires etc. it seems that you currently run the risk of spoiling the ship for a ha'p'orth of tar ( I don't know if that idiom exists in American English).
        
        I have posted a link to some pictures of Abe Collins' office system. He uses a neat acrylic solution albeit for a different combination of components. Perhaps you could find something similar of the right dimensions for your rig?

        Thanks PAR. I took DAC off amp and positioned it further back on the desk, behind the amp.

        Does it sound better now?
