What items have you purchased as a result of ASR?

[Harmonie]

I bought the Okto DAC stereo with PI streamer end of November. Should arrive beginning of februari 2021. Are you happy with the Okto? Does it live up to the expectations?

There are dedicated Okto threads and I'm pretty sure that their owners are fond of it.

Bought a Topping DAC. Defective, returned. Bought a SMSL DAC. Defective, Returned. Bought a Shittt DAC. Works fine. Bought a JDS tone control, not that it was reviewed, but as I had ever heard of them, ASR led me to them making them "responsible".

Topping D90 and A90. Later 2x Topping E30 for other rooms. Very happy, especially for bucks/performance ratio for E30.

Was also interested in the Klipsch. CCA is sometimes on offer "refurbished" from 1-day here in NZ. That's where I got mine! Works a treat with my Vortexbox via Squeezer. Was not impressed that you needed to go to Premium to play music off YT Music, compared with the Chromecast you plug in the telly which doesn't have this restriction. Well, guess you can always cast off an Android phone if desired.

I ordered a plain old Modi3+ and Heresy stack along with a pair of DT 770 Pro to start. Probably going to order HD6XX once I get the hang of things.. Thanks so much @amirm for all your hard work and everyone who shares all of their experience and opinions here.

Even though it has not been reviewed here yet, I bought a FiiO Q3 Balanced THX DAC / AMP and balanced 2.5mm cable set.
They arrived today and so far VERY impressed.

SMSL SU-8 V2, absolutely love it. Might grab an SU-9 at some point.

I got my NAD C272 restored-modded by Peter at Quirk Audio after reading Amir’s NAD 2200 review.

I got it back last month and now it’s threatening to permanently displace my trusty Bryston 4B-ST. So completely surpassing what I expected!

Qudelix 5K

Did NOT buy Focal clear.

Awaiting for reviews of Hifiman arya (either that or hd800s it will be) and (maybe) khadas tone 2 pro

My 2020 last acquisitions:

One brand new golfing panther:

• Qudelix 5K

Three happily-lounging panthers:

• KEF R3 (#2 on @MZKM ’s speaker preference rating list)
• Neumann KH80 DSP (#5 on the list)
• Sonos Connect (because it simply works)

One not yet tested item (time for a new “guilty pleasure” category panther?):

• Bose QC35 II (great in a noisy environment!)

I’m very happy with all the stuff. Thank you for all the great/hard work, Amir!

Time for me for a break now to enjoy the Music.

EDIT: Now I see that the KH80 received a happily-lounging panther as well.

Soncoz LA-XQD1, but it was glitching regularly, so I returned it and bought a Topping DX7 Pro. Won't buy another DAC/headphone amp until it does.

About a billion people, including me, have bought Sony MDR-ZX110 headphones as a result of Amir's recent recommendation: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/9-headphone-review-sony-mdr-zx110.19484/

Topping L30. Could have been more lucky but at least I have a point of comparison now.
