Anyone have a suggestion for a desktop rack for my headphone station? Looking for ideas, what others may be using. Biggest piece is the Monolith 887, needs to be 3 tiered, or 2 shelves with a bottom opening, if that makes sense. Monolith, Schiit Lokius, Topping D50S.. Doesn't need to be expensive and would prefer to get from Amazon due to a credit.. Thanks all!!!

I also have interest in a desktop rack for Schiit Bifrost/Magnius and Valhalla 2. I see many in photos on DROP website, etc. The chrome and glass look is awesome to me, but no idea where to find or how to build. Any thoughts more than welcome.

I bet they want much more than it's worth, with the obligatory audiophile pricing. I'd like to get something smaller too, as my AHB2 & LA4 look lost on my old Billy Bags rack. It was fine for my old equipment but, a little much for these.

Don't know why you couldn't build one to suit...

Yeah, building something yourself is typically more expensive than just buying something.

Depends on how you make it. I really see no flaw in building it yourself as the commercial product will have extra costs factored into it like overhead, R&D, building hours/labor, etc. This is a desktop rack for smaller components so the materials are also reduced in size. It really should not be expensive.

It's not the material that is expensive, it's the labor. Take the Topping rack for example. It costs like less than 40€. So how many hours of work would you be willing do for 40€?

(Another reason not to DIY is of course tools and equipment you need. It would take a lot of DIY projects for that stuff to pay for itself)

Audio Bastion X-Racks. Mix and match the two available sizes.

There was this rack on Aliexpress, but it cost well over 300 euros.

What should such a desktop rack for 2 - 3 devices cost?
