I went and got Covid right before the new year and Iā€™m isolated in my bedroom. Luckily my Xduoo MT-502 just showed up so I can chill out with some David Bowie in my convalescence bed.

I flipped out my Schiit Magni which was having some channel imbalance problems for the Xduoo MT-602 to try out some tubes. I have some GE JAN 5654W tubes in the way. My Schiit Modi DAC and Loki equalizer feeds the amp with a WiiM Mini as the source. Fantastic cheap steamer.

The headphones are my 20 year old Sennheiser 580s with new pads. I keep pondering upgrading to some Sennheiser 6xxs but the 580s still sound awesome.

Nice setup, hope you make another post when the tubes come in.

Sidegrading to the 6XX isn't worthwhile in my opinion, 580s are great as is so it'd be better just going for a straight upgrade or sticking with them.

Good advice. I have my eyes on a pair of Meze 109 Pros but not for a while yet.
