Thanks for all of your comments guys! I feel like I need to post more pictures of my setup now
So, starting off with the base. 2 old VCR films to elevate the computer.
Then the custom adjustable monitor stand.
And then did someone say boxes?
I can feel the shame building in comparison with the rest of you guy's set ups.
how is the fiio amp?
Fiio amp sounds good but its starting to crap out on me after one year(?) or so? The battery now leaks charge so it won't stay for more than one night without charging, and it won't charge through the computer USB so I use an outlet one. My computer no longer recognizes it through USB so I have to run an AUX cable through, which means no 24-bit/96kHz Vinyl rips for me. And Fiio is too far away for me that it needs to be more broken before I RMA it.
So yeah, for the price, the sound is spectacular. It is a really good beginning DAC/Amp that works super well with the amount of room that I have available. And at the same time, for the price, you can't really expect a super high build quality. Apparently I'm not the only one experiencing battery issues. There's a whole bunch of other things as well.
I can feel the shame building in comparison with the rest of you guy's set ups.
pls let me remove the film from your monitor
GASPPP DON'T you dare touch my films.
