Roon just took the knees out from under every other dedicated music server on the market, IMO. And I'm 100% buying one when it comes out (or as soon as I can). I've been waiting for a truly affordable option like this to come out, and this just ticks all the boxes for me personally. So excited...

IME, with resolving upstream gear (especially with stage depth capability), the LCD-X sounds plenty good on its own without EQ. However, there is still a wonkiness to the upper mids that can have an impact to female vocals, in particular. There's a slight wooly and honky effect, likely due to...

Ok, so this took waaaaay longer than I expected it to - turns out holidays, 2 very young kids, work, and other life things can really slow a project down! But I have finally finished the transfer of the naked ACP+ to an aluminum chassis. I learned a ton, got plenty frustrated at times, made some...

Please remove me from the tour list...if there ever even was one. Thank you

Not a new GL mk2 owner yet, but currently demo'ing it in comparison to my Lyr 3 and a DIY Nelson Pass-designed Class A headphone amp (ACP+), courtesy of the very generous @adydula for letting me play with it! In an effort to see if there was a similarly-designed Class A headphone amp on the...

Mint/Like New, low hours, Schiit Lyr 3 in black. This has the ES9028 dac card included. I am also including (2) tube socket savers, and the stock Electro-Harmonix 6SN7 tube that came with the amp. The listing price would also include the upgraded Psvane 6SN7-UK Black Plate Gold Pins edition...

Completely agree on the LCD-X (2021). I think my Lyr 3 might be holding them back a bit in the bass department (a bit pillow-y in the bass with regards to impact, genre-dependent). How would you say your other headphones compare with metal - particularly the ZMF Atrium, Fostex TH900, and...

Curious on whether sufficient tour participants has been reached for a tour to be set up? Thanks!

Have you listened to both, side by side?

As a newer owner of the BF 2/64 as well, I'm so glad that I can finally close this DAC hunt chapter of my life for a good while. For context, I've listened to/auditioned the following DACs that were in contention over the past year or so (which the BF 2/64 ended up winning over, for reasons)...

Scott Cary, NC Schiit Bifrost 2/64 > Schiit Lyr 3 > Audeze LCD-X (2021) / Grado SR-80e

@ambchang - Raising this question from the freaking dead, but I'm just beginning my journey into modding my Grado SR-80e. Did you ever manage to try aluminum sleeves with wood cups? I'm interested in whether there is a significant difference in sound between the stock plastic sleeves vs...

Would love to hear your thoughts on the differences/improvements you've noticed between the onboard multibit DAC in Lyr 3 vs. Bifrost 2/64? I have the onboard ES9028, which is likely different from the MB card, but still very curious how considerable the changes were in your experience.
