Ready Set Go Royal Tailor

I store files locally, too, both for convenience, and fact that I travel to remote areas, such as Central America where accessibility isn't a possibility. I also take pride in collecting, organizing and listening to my own music files.

First MK IV SE returned on warranty due to finish problem. LD responded well and sent replacement, but amp has much lower output. Set gain to 5, ON-OFF. Volume must be set to 50 (12 O'Clock) for comfortable listening. Audio quality is excellent. Just lower than expected output.

Thanks. Found 100K ohm ladder-type stepped attenuator (Dale) on eBay for around $53 USD including shipping, that should be well worth the investment. Regarding your hope to upgrade caps.. one head-fier in previous thread installed vibration damping feet on bottom of BH wooden case, raising it...

YKYAAW... You buy new headphones.. let's say HD800s, and then you realize you need to buy a new amplifier to take proper advantage of improved clarity and soundstage.

The Schiit Vali are well thought of and should pair well The LD MKIII may provide anotger prospect and is slightly darker with bit more "tube you" sound to balance Q701s clarity and tendancy to be a bit bright.
