Valhalla or Lyr?

Thread Starter 

So I have had the HD650s hooked up to an STX for about a year now and really enjoy them.  But now its time for a new dac/amp because I need to STX in my carPC.  With that said, I am looking at getting a Bifrost and matching it with a Valhalla or a Lyr.  Which of the 2 do you think would be the better choice?

 

Little background:

I have HD650 / Grado SR80(needed something to tinker with) / Shure 545 / Westone W4(stolen)

 

Out of the 4 I enjoy the W4 and 650 about the same.  I generally listen to my computer 4hrs a night straight.  I plan on getting HD800s and T1 within the next year or so.

 

Thanks in advance.  I have read a ton threads, but they all seem to focus on the asgard vs valhalla instead of valhalla vs lyr.

I thought the T1 was pretty ...meh... with the Lyr .

The Valhalla sounds great with the HD600s.  And for kicks I tried my Grado SR60s and they sound very, good.
