What’s your latest high-end audio purchase?

Probably not considered high end but after 15 months of waiting…Decware SE84UFO2.1 with mods including XLR inputs. Doesn’t play well with my Freya+ using the XLRs but a bit better with the SE inputs.  Great going directly from DAC to amp.  The bass never sounded so good in my old LaScalas. Might be selling my Schiit.

I bought back my Yamamoto Dac from the person I sold it too 5 years previously.

@jond I think you mean rented to them 😁

On Monday night bought an Audio GD DI-20HE DDC.

It arrived on Friday.

Not high-end; more mid-end.

Just received an Aurender N200 yesterday,  it's awesome .    One more piece under construction and that will be it for a while.   Next and final toy will be Toolshed Amps 101d  DHT Line Stage.    Will be done if a few months .

I didn’t have to buy anything, but was ’gifted’ generously with some older and a couple of new items.....

It’s been a nice year....usually I get gifted by some with speakers to consider to ’modify’ in my way. *S* In order:

- A Parasound Halo C2 processor

-A dbx 223XL crossover ( I can now ’slice ’n dice 3 ways 3X ! *L* )

-An ESS series Eclipse crossover, a Heil fan I am.

Gifted by one at the other end of country. Never met, and it's a shame I'll never will get the opportunity.

He had S4 cancer. Doesn’t respond anymore for far too long.....

RIP, good friend, more in common then we expected when you commented on my Heils and discussed over time your...ah, ’collection’. And then, a mystery gift hinted.

- A pair of new large Heils’. Stunned, as asked to not get all maudlin, had to do.

*sigh* Damn...

Got birthday gifted by spouse; "I don’t have the slightest idea..." OK, these...

- V-Moda Crossfade M-100 headphones. Used, but 9.5/10 for me, got the XL cushions and this camper is happy enough. ;)

Does having a nice first half of ’22 count even if the last one was a heavy-handed ’hint’? No purchases per se, but...additions...
