Sennheiser HD6XX with FiiO K5PRO connected to a Mac
When at my desk I am now listing to music via a pair of Sennheiser HD6XX from Drop. They are connected to my iMac via a FiiO K5PRO headphone amp/DAC. It just works and is a pleasure to listen to.

Back in 2007 I wrote My new Hi-Fi setup, Apple iTunes - AirPort Express - Musical Fidelity X-DAC V3. Time for an update. Since around 2013 I have played music via an Apple TV connected to the DAC via Toslink (optical).
The record labels want their music to stand out, i.e be louder than others. They do it by compressing the dynamics of the music. It is called “The Loudness War”. I stumbled upon BBC Sound of 2009 winner Little Boots on the BBC web site some month ago.
Bye bye CD player. I enjoyed listening to my Thule CD player a lot and I’m sure the new owner will enjoy it also. My new setup however sounds even better and I have all my music at a touch of a button.
Plocka fram en några år gammal skiva med en favoritartist och jämför med en skiva de gett ut nyligen. Chansen är tyvärr stor att den nya skivan låter anskrämligt i jämförelse. Jag får erkänna att jag är något av en audiofil men försämringen är mycket påtaglig och jag är inte direkt ensam om att ha uppmärksammat detta problem.
