As a combo unit and if you get a solid deal on it, I'd say its still a great product and sounds lovely. Price for performance you can probably top it with separate units if you search hard enough, but as an aesthetic DAC/AMP combo unit I'd say it's an excellent product. It still sounds great to...

Some people do tend to be sensitive to sibilence, but I found in my limited experience that the 4XX was quite agreeable in the treble region. The LCD-1 sound good, but personally fit and finish weren't quite there for me. The 4XX is excellent for the price if you're willing to wait out the...

A bit disappointing to hear, does this generally seem to be common on fresh units as well, thus returning in the original return(s)?

That's a lot of how I feel, can an FLAC file sound better than Spotify? Sure, and for songs that really matter to me I'm happy to purchase a file,really sit, and listen critically. But 90-95% of my listening is done while accomplishing other things. Do my taxes, listen to music; work, listen to...

Excited to see how this one stacks up to the rest of the small receivers. I’m actually between purchasing a DAP and a small receiver presently.

I owned both the H6 and 177X and I think you're spot on. One thing I did notice is that I found my H6 more pleasant out of a simple mobile device output such as an iPod but that the 177X definitely were my preference when plugging into a legitimate amp. I've actually spent a bunch of time...

Hey all, registered earlier last year when I first started to get into the audio/headphone world but finally deciding to really dive in and try to get active. Got a pair of Sennheiser 6XX and a Klipsch Heritage Amp but excited to start plotting my next purchases - RIP wallet.

Awesome setup, thanks for sharing. How was it meeting Steve?!

I got one for $350 and rather like it. For the $500 msrp its a fair price but if you already had an individual amp or dac to pair it’s likely losing some value. Where it shined for me is as a combo unit as i didn’t have a high quality dac or amp and particularly for the price this has been a...

Did the tubes change the signature pretty dramatically? Also what tube amp is that if you don't mind me asking?

Woops, meant to get the post below yours. Sorry about that!

Really great to see companies giving handy discounts. I’ve been eying LCD cans for a bit and that boom makes them way more tempting given my work has switched to at home for now.
