Prog rock
Found this one on facebook, A Game of Whispers by Age of Distraction. They are a new British prog/melodic metal band that show a LOT of promise and this album definitely does not sound like a debut, it's way too polished - well worth a good listen, it's on Qobuz, so likely on the competition and... -

Schiit Vali 3 : Impressions Thread
It's an original Vali 2 and it has served me well for years but from what I'm reading the Vali 3 should be a marked improvement plus it will blend in with the rest of my system.- rids57

Schiit Vali 3 : Impressions Thread
I have a perfect Vali 3 sized space next to my V222 and as I can't really use my Vali 2 there as it's silver (everything else is black), I might just treat myself to a nice black Vali 3. I've been putting it off as several of my headphones are XLR terminated but after searching all over the...- rids57

Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC
I just finished installing mine and even after a few minutes I'm blown away and I haven't even tried upsampling yet. Coming from a 9038 pro powered SMSL SU9 the soundstage, imaging and timbre are all at another level - well worth the four week wait. Just letting it warm up now as I'll no doubt...- rids57

roon > HoloAudio Cyan II > Violectric V222 > Sennheiser HD800S Lakesongs of Elbid (2024) by Albion - I had to pick a first album to play on the new DAC and my favourite new album of the year seemed like a good choice. As for the DAC, I can't stop grinning, it's everything I hoped for and then...- rids57
