This is an EPIC thread.  You are amazing Joker.  Keep it up.

wow, does that mean there will be no more cavalli DIY designs?

Hey Sachu, is the ehha-II going to be released to the public anytime soon?  Which DIY amp do you think pairs best with LCD-2s?  Thanks for being a DIY/Ortho guru :)

Do you guys think it would possible for me to attach the lcd-2 cups to a beyer headband?

A headband made of foam on a $ 1000 headphone?  Are they kidding?  Good to hear they sound great though.

Can I get some opinions on how DIYs (Buffalo 32, Gamma 2... et all) compare to their consumer counter parts. I've been convinced on the amp front that DIY is a better option but I am not so sure about DACs. Will a DIy compare well to something like an audio-gd which has built in dsp and ummm...

Has anyone compared these to the t1?

I am getting a really good deal from a friend on Lenovo laptop. Problem is it has no spdif/optical in/optical out. All it has for audio is a headphone jack(not one which supports spdif like apple's). Will this be limiting in my audio journey? Should I care?

Maybe we reached the pinnacle a long time ago. If this is the case and I fear it might be besides a couple amazing new headphones, the innovation we should be seeing is producing well made and good sounding headphones for cheaper.

So I want my laptop to connect to my dac (Dacmagic... on its way to me) which will in turn be plugged into my amp (m3). I was looking at Lenovo thinkpads because I love their utalitarian design, some models (t410/t510), have combination in/out audio jacks. My backup plan is possibly a macbook...
