I have been out of the DAP game for quite some time (I still use my AK240 Blue Note from time to time) and had not heard of L&P until recently. Their gear looks awesome, but oh, the prices!

Respect....

Hi, it looks awesome and I might be interested ... but what DAP is 'upgraded' from the SP2000? I thought it was the King of DAPs....

Thanks for the replies, @LCMusicLover and @ksorota. My primary concern is that my original LP went up in smoke suddenly after only two years of relatively light use, the entire time plugged into a Bryston BIT-20 power isolation transformer. Monoprice did not ask any questions when I reported...

I bought an LP on launch back in 2018. It gave up the ghost last week while I was listening. I heard a pop in the cans I was using and the amp went dead. A chemical-like burning smell emanated from the inside of the amp. I just received a replacement LP from Monoprice (great service!). I...

Here is the April 2019 Hi-Fi World review: https://chordelectronics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Hugo-TT-2-Review-HiFI-World.pdf

Of course not. I think Sennheiser and Audeze are great. Some prefer one brand, and some prefer the other, and that is what makes a horse race. I was just responding to your sweeping generalizations that "Audeze is known for warm bass, and rolled off upper mids and treble," that "[t]he...

I own the Senn HD580 and HD650, as well as the Audeze LCD-2F, LCD-X, and now LCD-MX4. FWIW, my ratio of Audeze listening time to Senn listening time is probably greater than 95:1.

He had all of one hour on the MX4's when posted his initial impressions. I think the cans and the cable (assuming he's using a new stock Audeze cable) need more time before they reach their potential. Speaking of burn-in, I have about ten hours on my MX4's. I am driving them currently with a...

Good point, but just because the MX4's are easier to drive than the LCD-3/4 does not mean an inexpensive low-powered source will sound like a high-end source via the MX4. When using a more revealing transducer, it will do a better job of highlighting deficiencies in the playback chain...

The Topping sells for $220. The MX4's are on sale for $1,500 currently. That is a combined total of $1,720. Personally, if I were starting from scratch and had $1,720 to buy a DAC, a HP amp, and headphones, I would put way more than $220 into the DAC and HP amp, and way less than $1,500 into the...

Thanks very much. Yes, ListenUp states that it is an authorized dealer of every brand it sells. They also offer a great return policy. https://www.listenup.com/faq/

I ordered a pair of MX4's on Amazon today with ListenUp as the seller. ListenUp is a very reputable outfit, and I currently get 5% off purchases on Amazon with my Discover Card, up to $1,500.00. (Since this was my first Amazon purchase using Discover during the current promotional period, I...

Hi, I have the LCD-X and am very happy with them (except for the weight). I would not spend $1,500 for a lighter version of the LCD-X, but I might spend $1,500 for a lighter headphone that is meaningfully better than the LCD-X. Can anyone who has heard the LCD-X and the MX4 side-by-side...

Thanks, but the LP power button was in the OFF position when I connected the PSU power lead to the back of the LP. I also observed a spark and an audible static noise when I plugged the wallwart into my Bryston power conditioner. This was BEFORE connecting the power lead to the LP (I read the...
