Anyone going to Canjam in London next month? I am eager to hear some ZMF headphones there. Depends on the trains running though - fingers crossed.
I'll be there. I'd also like to hear the ZMF headphones. They were absent last year.

iFi Audio were also absent last year. Good to see they will be there this year.

I mainly want to hear the Raal-Requisite ribbons again.

I've never been before. Can I expect queues to try out headphones?

I'm hoping to go tomorrow as long as you can still buy the tickets in the morning before I set off.

Anyone else going?

Swapped the downstairs system (RME) to get some stuff not being used a go. Mojo V Topping D50s/P50 both in to the Xduoo MT-602.

Both dacs give a different presentation but both are very enjoyable excepting I dislike the ergonomics of the Mojo. The star though is the MT-602, paid about £70 for this and swapped the stock tubes for Mullards (about £35 the pair) but never really gave this a proper run. Currently driving the Elegia, I'm really enjoying this setup.

After playing with the Mojo, while it's back on charge, time to swap it out for the Sabaj Da3 dac/amp. Similar functionality to the Mojo but no battery, runs directly from the USB of the laptop. Again, plugged in to the MT-602, lovely little detailed display (I hate the mojo balls) but this is NOT a portable device as it sucks battery too quickly off a mobile phone. Two outputs, balanced 2,5 and an unbalanced 3.5. It has 3 filters and comes in at a whopping £60 when I bought it.

I don't often use headphones but when I do this modest little setup does a great job.

Nothing wrong with this at all. The only thing I'd upgrade on this setup is probably to a mains powered DAC, doesn't have to be expensive just a Topping or SMSL with AKM chip.
