Can someone here tell me if the multi-bit is worth the extra $100?
Short answer: Yes. To my ears the multibit sounds noticeably better than the delta-sigma converter.

Anyone know what size set screw is on the Lyr 3 volume knob?
I've tried both metric and inch hex keys, no joy.
Thanks so much!I used a 1/16" hex key to remove the volume control knob on my Lyr 3. Has to be very tight tolerance and well machined wrench.
Here's what I bought.

I, for one, much prefer outboard DACs (and since I don’t use any USB sources, I guess I have to use outboard...). With that out of the way, Multibit IS worth it, to my ears. If you get the amp and keep the E30, then it’s your call (and wallet) on if/when you upgrade the DAC. No need to build Rome in a day...Can someone here tell me if the multi-bit is worth the extra $100?
I am trying to stretch my budget and upgrade to the Lyr 3 from my E30/L30 stack since I got my Aryas, and that $100 is certainly a difference maker for me right now =/
I could keep my E30 as well and just get the amp portion, but I'm not sure how well that would work?
6SN7 is a Double Triode tubeHey there Lyr 3 owners, question for the panel: has anyone here tried rolling a pair of C3Gs via adapter into their Lyr?
I know this tube has a great reputation substituting for 6SN7s in other applications so curious to know how it’d do here...
6SN7 is a Double Triode tube
C3g is a Pentode tube
So... as far as I know - even with adapter it will not work.
I am curious: where (which amp) do people use C3g to substitute 6SN7?
I have a Glenn OTL amp, but it has dedicated sockets for the C3g tubes.Lots of guys seem to run a pair of C3gs into a 6sn7 via adapter. Little dot and Glenn threads are ripe with impressions
Should the Lyr 3 be hot to the point of pain after ~3-5 seconds, after being turned on for 1-2 hours? I just received this unit secondhand. It is reasonable ventilated. Running a Ken-rad 6SN7 black glass. Power cord is some higher gauge/quality one I had from a previous Decware amp, not sure brand. I do expect the amp itself to be hot, but even the volume knob is noticeably hot (not painful like the rest of the chassis, but definitely hot).

My experience it shouldn’t get quite that hot, it only really got warm to slightly hot. Sounds like it’s getting Lyr 2 hot, because that was how my Lyr 2 was in terms of heat. I used a nice thick power cord on mine and never had issues. You mean lower gauge? As lower means thicker wire and high quality power cables tend to be thicker. Could be the tube making it run hotter, some tubes do run hotter, not familiar with that particular tube.
