So guys.. already been here almost a month. I went to Dubai Audio Centre to audition the Schiit Lyr for the FIRST TIME!!! It was SENSATIONAL! I also heard the HD800s for the first time as well. Some awesome headphones there.. exactly my type of can. I like them flat, dynamic and super clear-sounding. I also believe the tubes of the Lyr slightly reduced the clinical impression they normally give, which is going to be very useful to me since I have some rather clinical cans as well.
I will be buying my Schiit Lyr soon, to pair with my AKG K701 and the Bifrost will follow as well.
While I was there.. I had the opportunity to listen to the MBL 101 Radialstralher MKII, probably the most sensational speakers I have ever heard.
