Right, so I have a question about these.   I love my K701s (8 humps) and I drive them with the original Lyr and Bifrost. I am a sucker for crazy detail and good soundstage. I absolutely love the HD800, but they are out of my price-range ATM. But I have not tried these. How far are they from...

So, I should be fine running the X1 out of the Lyr? No danger of blowing it up before 12 o'clock?

  All of the above, its an awesome deal and I really wanna try them. I know that they are quite different in sound sig. What really motivated me was the supposedly awesome soundstage. "Cos I'm all 'bout that... soundstage" I just worry that the Lyr will be a bit too noisy.

Looks like I might have found a spectacular deal for these, it was totally by accident too.   I own a Schiit Lyr amp, which I use to drive my K701. Do you think it will be appropriate, or might it be a problem on account of the low impedance of the headphones?   Thanks!

Hey there guys. I'm starting this thread because I want to get some more info on this matter. My Windows 10 upgrade is waiting for me, and I am really concerned about whether foobar2000 (with the wasapi plugin) will be compatible with the upgrade.   I am also concerned about the possibility of...

  Looking forward to this!

  Cool, thanks! I just wanted to get the general feedback. In terms of sound, I to put emphasis on resolution and soundstage, while I like a very neutral sound in general. I remember reading some comparisons in this thread about how the Yggy didn't have the 3D soundstage of a similarly priced...

  @Wino YES, that was my question. The reason I asked is because I haven't had the opportunity to personally audition the Yggy myself, and even if I had, I probably would't have been able to compare it well to the ultra (overpriced) high end stuff because I have heard only a couple of high end...

So based on most of the impressions in this thread, one DEFINITELY WOULDN'T make a mistake getting this DAC as a main source for a serious speaker setup? Even better: if one was to get a good pair of speakers and amplification, it would make no sense paying 10k+ for a "high end" DAC from a well...

Hey there guys,   Im obviously very interested in this product as a headphone guy, but im really curious to learn more about its speaker potential, more specifically the pre-amp operation and SQ.   Hopefully, in the near future I will be getting my hands on a good pair of speakers and a...

  This is something I am extremely interested in. Would the Raggy be close to the transparency and overall SQ of a higher end preamp? I hope to maybe get the Mark Levinson No 535H in the very near future for a pair of JBL Synthesis S4700. I think this gear is somewhat touching high end...

  Caetano Veloso in general sounds WOOOOOOOW on my rig, but this song hit a very interesting spot today. It was absolutely overwhelming! I definitely have heard this song in the past and must have loved it. Now, I am discovering this amazing musician and when I heard this song I really couldn't...

  If you can afford it, the Lyr is one of the best amps for the K70X. Mine sound absolutely amazing with the Lyr. In case you decide to buy it, also make sure to get some good tubes.   -This is a great thread about tube-headphone synergy with the Lyr: 

  Wait... WHAT?? Made in PRC? This is news. Mine are not that old but clearly say "Made in Austria". Well, I bought them in 2012, and they probably sat in inventory for a year at least.. so they might be slightly older. My K242 HD were also made in Austria, and later found out that almost...

Hello good people of Head-fi, whats up? Since the Lyr threads seem to be quite inactive these days, I figured im gonna post here. I have owned a Lyr for some time now, but I have never experienced such a thing before. Has anyone's Lyr ever "exploded"?? I just switched it on to listen to...
