It can drive HD-800s and the LCD-X so i would think the LCD-2 should be fine.

I received PM-3 Unit #1 yesterday, and look forward to listening to them. Will post impressions at the end of the trial and will forward thereafter.

Range: Micro Model: iusb   Reason: The micro already has a battery, but filtering in power this way should make it better.

I'd also like to participate in the loaner program. Have a need for less expensive phones for work. Am in the Los Angeles area, and accept all the terms and conditions.  Thanks.

  I've only had the iFI and Geek Out, and this sounds much less brighter that those, the detail is about the same, the mids and bass are cleaner than the iDSD Micro. I find the Geek Out to be more extended, so in some material its better, but in a lot of material its too fatigueing.

I've used it with an Sennheiser HD-800, AKG-K701 and Audeze LCD-X and it had more than adequate power. Hope that's of some help.

Lol, well clean LPs played on a good setup does have its pleasures. Thanks for the EMI heads up.

Yeah, I would love to do that. Do you spin vinyl at meets? I would like to hear a grey label Sinatra Sings for Only The Lonely (Is it still a grey label in Stereo?)

I was wondering if LFF could give feedback on the recent 'Come Fly With Me' in HDTracks? For some reason it sounds among the worst that I have heard of this album, though my copies of it have been in vinyl or the Capitol collection, which is not the lowest comparable.

Me, too. Its quite noticeable.

Yeah, I wish I could go, too. And to RMAF, but work beckons. Out of curiosity, what is the distribution of the 512 Octo Adaptors?

I don't know about the non Muses Essence one, but I had a Muses one, and I currently have the UD-501. I used boed out in Balanced mode to a Bryston BHA-1 to a Black Dragon cabled Sennheiser HD-800.   Hands down, the Teac was much more neutral and revealing. The Muses sounded pleasant but...

Good to hear that it responds to a better amp. Must try to get around to hearing them with tubes.   I used my iDSD feeding a Brsyston BHA-1 to Senn HD800, and find that the synergy between the Dac portion of the iDSD works really well with the Amp portion of it. It may just be that the dryness...

 On the issue of what sounded better, the Geek Out or the iDSD, I'm not exactly sure if the iDSD wins all the time. I think it depends on the type of Geek Out you have, as this  has match your phones too. I do know the GeekOut 720 sounds better with the LCD-X, and the Sennheiser HD-800 is...
