Thanks Cyril. It's the non-pro version. It has AES/EBU, coaxial and toslink, all of which support up to 192 (although a firmware upgrade is necessary). It also uses the same Brown Burr DACs as the Pro. Some of the early version 306s had issues with heat and the transport tray, which is what eventually led to the Pro model. Luckily I found one of the later versions that had no such issues.

I love the V12 amps. I missed mine.

Is that a Sony R10?

Yep, it is an R10. GREAT headphone.

I also miss my V12 monos (sounded awesome), but they hard on the tubes (and a driver on my speaker when tube one went).

My previous bedroom Cary setup. I might go back to something similar like this in the living room.
