Took these old toys out of the drawer and OMG they still sound soo freakin' amazing !!!

It's only 10 mins away from where I live... so I might stop by :)

It gets funnier, for me the M2S is on the brighter side :beyersmile:. LPG needs at least 100 hrs to settle down indeed it was brighter before and now it is neutral slightly warm.

Likewise, I still have both. M2S DOES have somewhat air-er sound and seems to better compatibility with most IEMs or headphones out here. However, I am leaning towards Lotoo for its warmer sound Sig and I'm selling my M2S if anyone is interested.

Out of the box my LPG sounded very overwhelming it was a mess comparing to my Aune M2S. The soundstage was over crowded and barely any seperations between instruments. It was overly aggressive and fatiguing too and the ATE settings didnt make sense. However, it continues to improve day by day...

LPG sound quality is like no other DAP it is very accurate and it remains true to recording.

I have never been a huge fan of smartphones as a source but the S8 has improved a lot from their older models included the notes, tabs and laptop. The sound of S8 is cleaner and clearer and with much less harshness in the upper range and overall distortion- a little bit more doable. However...

I had them both too and I hear otherwise, the B+ is the better ones but yes the bass on the older ones has more punch. Single ended vs balance differences depends on what you're listening with. With full size cans ie. HD700 or LCD series the different is so worth it. It is one of the most...

Paw Gold is in da house :smile_phones:

My very first Audeze was LCD2.2 pre fazor and I loved it. I also had 2F, XC for a while and  now my current daily driver is LCD X 2016 along side with HD700 and sometimes 650.    The LCD Pro sounds a little different than any of the LCD family the tonality is stronger, more full body it (macro...

I too had a listen with LCD Pro along side with X and 4 at the CanJam SoCal a few weeks ago. I remember the set ups were Perfect Wave DAC to Phonitor E made by SPL on single ended mode and a seemingly looked like an upgraded cable.   First of all, the new Pro is super comfy and pretty...

I went to CanJam California just last weekend and got a change to audition both 10 and 20 (also LCD PRO) for the first time and I did this after I listened to the whole new series of Noble's newest IEM lines. I am not IEM guy and I like open back Senn and Audeze. All IEMs I have tried never...

I didn't get to listen to all of it but some had left me impressed:   Astell & Kern Kann vs Opus #2 When I entered the show I immediately went to AK booth and listened to their newest pre-order unit the Kann. I am not going into details about this new DAP other than what I think about their...

In my previous post here I had mentioned how Duet compared to Hugo and now I also have Yulong D200 with balance out.

Keep in mind that Duet's tonality is a little warm already pairing them with tube amp might make it really warm unless that's what you're looking for.
