    I've recently bought a pair of LCD-X and I'm really keen to play around with Roon to consider a long term purchase. Any chance there is a currently valid 60 day trial code?

    Thanks for the responses. I anticipate listening in various places, mostly at a desk at home or at work, but wouldn't mind the flexibility of a portable DAC. What are your thoughts about the LCD-3 in comparison, especially if I can get a good price? Unfortunately not! I'm on the Sunshine Coast
