What have you purchased recently?

This glorious mess arrived today:

Thanks to @dB_Cooper for the “excellent” packaging and quick shipping. The pi2aes streamer in your custom box is excellent!

My wife has questioned some of my purchases in the past, but she might have been right on this one: a homemade network streamer, packaged and shipped in a collection of recycled trash :rofl: There has to be some prize for “best/worst” packaged shipment. It really was top notch safety, well done mr cooper, but certainly “creatively sourced” materials were used.

I saw it the other day as well, glad it was picked up by one of the crew. When he gets tired of it, we’ll get first dibs on it. LOL

I really wanted to get it out to you ASAP but had no time and no packing materials so I raided my building’s recycling room and “made do”.

All’s well that gets there in one piece!

Absolutely! I appreciate the effort and creativity. Really nice build on the box, you could sell these if you wanted to.

Ngl, I’ve been drooling over that for like a month now. There is a v3 near me thats fairly tempting as well as a qb-9 twenty that looks cool. And a nagra HD in germany… And that Atlantic TRP… realy I’m just drooling over any and all dacs on the market right now tbh.

Is it wrong that I spent more time scoping out the Gaia - That’s a nice DDC.

Came over the weekend, but just got around to assembling. Unfortunately it’s now too late to burn it in to be ready for a first cook.

isn’t that kind of an inconvenient place to keep your headphones. :upside_down_face:

Indeed it is :smiley: but they don’t line up like this in rack where they have a new home and for some reason I wanted them all in one picture :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I dunno, quite often I’d rather look at headphones than read whatever is on my screen. :grin:

For real I’ve been wanting to replace my Momentum TW for the gym. This happened to hit most of the boxes I was looking for. Android user here btw.
