Who would'nt prefer the sexy, sleek Arrow over the big bulky Lyrix i'm still carying around?
No mind games, a friend still has a Lyrix so I've done direct comparisons quite recently and stand by what I said ( I'll borrow it again and get you pictures if you want 
)
I only mentioned I owned it to let people know I didn't just have a cursory impression of the Lyrix. It's a great amp for the money, probably still the best if you won it on eBay as I did. The Pico uses the same opamp as both of these amps and I don't think anyone would argue that it's not a better amp than the Lyrix. IMO the Arrow is every but as good as the Pico and I have owned both and compared them directly at a recent meet.
I suppose depending on the headphones, source and music bit-rate you use to listen, you might not notice much of a diffference between many amps. With good gear and well recorded music IMO there can be a substantial difference even with the same op-amp.
