One advantage to stepped attenuators today is that it can be dificult to find good quality multi-gang variable pots where each gang tracks precisely with the others (L/R balance). An ordinary potentiometer's L/R balance can change depending on where the knob is. That's not a problem with a...

Sounds great and no DACT regrets. I was apprehensive about getting the DACT but found it to be a non-issue. I don't have any volume concerns and use low gain with my LCD-X. Depending on the recording I usually end up somewhere between 10 and 1 o'clock. The increments between steps is...

Same here - the stealth look. Love how it looks and above all sounds. (Listening to Al di Meola - Consequence Of Chaos on SACD. Nice bass.)

Apple makes a Lightning to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter for $9.

I got your point. But I think LCD-X benefits tremendously from an amp. Certainly no one would even consider an iphone LOL

Yes you could. LOL But why would you?

What I also like about the GS-X mini, besides that it's sound like a wire, is the balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs. This leaves the choices of DACs to be wide open. Getting back to the sound, it can be disturbing at times to hear a very familiar recording and for the first time...

Admittedly, the LCD-X is heavy but on my thick skull I can wear them all day. I also wear glasses and don't have any issues. Certainly a pair of cans you would enjoy in a lazyboy and not actively dancing around. Don't have a long list but the cans (were) in my stable are (recently sold) Grado...

I don't post often. Just been lurking and reading over the years. But after hearing my new matte black GS-X mini with Audeze LCD-X cans I have to say I am simply stunned. I can hear John Bonham's squeeky speed king like never before. It's so clear now that it actually distracts me from the...

Mine has shipped - Yippie! Thank you Justin! You can go to FedEx online and have it delivered and held at a local Walgreens where you can pick it up.

Have a LCD-X on the way to be paired with a GS-X mini. So psyched! Anyone pair the mini with their X?

Only a week? That is fantastic! After I placed my order I PM'd HeadAmp to confirm they saw my "Matte Black" request in the instructions. And they did, so, we will see. I would be peaved if I received the wrong finish and would likely send it back :-| but that champagne finish had my eye to...

Just placed my order - matte black as well. Anyone here waiting and for how long?

^THIS Anyone? I know how to solder, I just need to know the resistor/jumper configuration.
