I didn't see the pad sold at the website. The band is from a third party at eBay ? Thanks

Contact Audeze to get the pads, they are always available to current LCD owners.

I really like the carbon fiber headband but it's kind of pricy at $200. The new headband is $125 I believe both from Audeze. Some guys swear by the 3rd party headband but the CF is just too sexy.

Do you remember the nick at eBay for the band? Thanks

It's called the Lohb headband but I've never bought it.

Anybody out there know where to buy the Lohb headband?

I never could figure out if this is the "official" Lohb strap, but it looks the part:

Yes, it's the @Lohb Strap on Ebay as stated above by phthora. It supplements the main head band and adds a level of extra support and comfort, for me at least. Took a couple of weeks for it to come from UK to US. Love mine!

I've used the Lohb strap for at least 3 maybe 4 years. Comfortable and a lot cheaper than the CF replacement. If I recall, I got it straight from Lohb himself. He may be a Head-fi member. Why not stick an '@' sign in front of the name Lohb? He might show up.

Any suggesting for an amp around $400 or less (preferably) to run my LCD-X? I'm running a Fiio X7 dap/dac/amp with it, but feel it needs more to make it shine.

As an aside, I just got mine. The weight is crazy, but the new headband really helps mitigate this.

I know both of them don't have strong presence in the treble region, but which one has more treble presence the LCD-X or the hifiman edition x ?

I tried LCDX with A&K Ultima, although sound was nice but balance was warmer romantic so I could not recomend it as ending/ideal combination as well, as nice as DAPs sounds still depends on final synergy. So I will not help you but from experiences my advice is try search for system which will have good balance not warm not bright with LCDX and you will be happy.

I have a Lyr 3 multibit and a Magni 3 (99.00) paired with a Modi 2 Uber. The Modi is connected to my sound card via optical. The Magni 3 comes close to the more expensive amp in overall SQ to my ears. Very clear and impactful with my LCDX. That's all I got, haven't had the opportunity to try any other amps yet. Tough to beat for the money for sure. I'm just not crazy about the Magni form factor. It looks puny on my desk. I wish Schiit would put it in a larger housing....

Second hand deckard?

Personally I don't think anything sub-$500 can do justice for the X. Although almost everything can power it, you might want something extremely transparent and resolving to really push the X. Anything else will just gravitate towards warmth.

I primarily pair my X with an Auralic Taurus MK II, and I've heard the Cayin IHA-6 (which I have and use with the HD 650, just not the X yet) comes close in terms of performance. It's on sale right now for $700 ($300 off): https://shop.musicteck.com/products/cayin-iha6-fully-balanced-high-fidelity-headphone-amplifier.

Hello,

I am currently using the LCD-X with the OPPO-HA2-SE. I am looking for an amp/dac under 500 USD. I thought of Jotunheim with multibit dac card, the Ifi Micro IDSD Black label, and the Audeze Deckard. Does anyone have experience with any of these pairings? I have read somewhere that the Jot's power may be just a waste for the LCD-X because it is so efficient; thus, I was looking at Ifi; however, then I wondered if getting a desktop amp for a similar price is better because I already have a portable... Please help me! And thank you!

I have the Black Label and sometimes pair it with my LCD-X. While the combo is not unpleasant, it definitely does not bring out the full potential of the X. The slight warmth, slight smoothed over sound of the DAC/amp doesn't fit the big strengths of the X: detail, imaging, and texture. The X also does not, IMO, need the iFi bass boost to sound full. I love the Black Label to death and you certainly wouldn't hate the X with it, but you can do better.

The Jot would be a better match-up for the amp, but the slapped on DACs I've heard it with have not impressed me.
