There's an interesting idea!! I don't know how many are really suitable - so far I can only think of the HiFiMan Deva (no wires to pull and open back so you can hear the little ones when they get up to mischief). I'll put my mind to it and see what I can come up with!

I feel your pain. Music listening takes a while to get back to once a little one joins the fold. GLWS

That's almost identical to my system and it works a treat here. I wonder what the issue is!? (Just saw your reply after I posted this - my browser hadn't refreshed)

Further information: Very reluctant sale that I have tossed and turned over for months because it's not getting a lot of use, but I just LOVE it's sound. In the end, the need to buy more gear for reviews has gotten the better of me so it's up for sale... Still one of the very best DAPs you can buy. The Stainless Steel version is an improvement over all the other versions of the AK240.

How did you find the HD800S with the Dekoni pads?

Thanks @Nelsonkat!

Oh, yeah - sorry!!

Hi Franky, I've got a Liquid Platinum and 2 additional sets of tubes that I'm about to list. PM me if you're interested 🙂 Cheers, Lachlan

Sure thing. The Eagle is more articulate and has a greater sense of clarity whereas the DF Red sounds a bit thicker and yet also comes across more shouty at times. Eagle is comfortably better in my opinion on all headphones except higher impedance cans like HD800S, etc. where the Eagle starts to sound too thin. For anything up to around 100 ohm, I would choose the Eagle (and have done so - just sold my DFR) DF Cobalt is a little different, but the Eagle still compares favourably (not necessarily better) given the large price differential

Hey mate, have you considered Beyerdynamic T5.3?

A magnificent DAC and easily one of the best available under about $2000. GLWS

Thanks for all the interest, folks and apologies if I didn't reply to you - I got a bit inundated with messages! Device is sold.

I've got people looking to buy both individually. Confirmation pending

Thanks @drago007. I've got someone else who's got in first, but I'll PM you with pricing if it falls through for any reason.
