Corona Workplace
The virus lockdown and associated activities have meant that I have installed a temporary work-place in a corner of the lounge.
Of course, me being me, the first thing to organise is some reasonable-quality audio - so we have:
AQ Dragonfly Red with Jitterbug
Supra 3.5mm stereo interconnect
Creative GigaWorks T40 active speakers
AQ NightHawk (mk.1) headphones
Music program on the laptop is Apollo, a very simple Windows player that has really superb SQ.
The T40 speakers are also excellent. I once hooked them up in my main rig in place of the NVA gear and was quite surprised by the big, clear and punchy sound.
Right, that's me sorted - now back to work,
Translations to do.

Re: Corona Workplace
It's been a quiet day today, for a change.
Out of curiosity I stuck the Schiit Wyrd in the dining-table setup: Laptop USB out - Jitterbug - Inakustik cable - Wyrd and have plugged the AQ Dragonfly Red directly into the output socket on the Wyrd, which is also powering it.
Sound is tight, meaty and pleasingly precise.
Don't know how long this temporary setup will be needed, but I might as well make the most of it.

Re: Corona Workplace
I end up listening to the radio at work most days. Start off with Radio 4, turn over to Radio 2 for Ken Bruce & Jeremy Vine and then back to Radio 4 because i can't listen to Steve Wright.

Re: Corona Workplace
Steve Wright is still on the radio? I couldn't stand him back in the eighties.
Having to listen to him during the Corona lockdown must fall under the Geneva convention's inhumane torture methods, surely.

We are usually R4 until 9, Ken until the end of Popmaster, LBC or R5 until 1400ish then R6.
Today, though, we have The Damned, Stranglers, SLF, Clash, Siouxsie, Wire, Toy Dolls, Ramones, Undertones, Blondie, Skids, Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks...on shuffle.
