Looking for help with deciding on an amp, plus some DAC confusion.

The absolute BEST amp for the LCD-3 (only vote if you have heard the mjolnir and at least one other amp, preferably most on the list)
Set on getting LCD3s, preferred its sound to the hifimans in general by a wide margin. Heard LCD3s with the mjolnir and gungnir and loved it. But I have only heard the LCD3s with the mjolnir amp, are there other amps that are better than the mjolnir FOR THE LCD3s in your opinion? Only vote if...- zachchen1996

Schiit Lyr versus Violectric HPA V200?
Hey Guys Has any one done a comparison of these two amps? The Lyr being a hybrid, and the V200 getting written about as "tube sounding" or warm for a SS, I'm interested to hear any impressions, and I couldn't find anything in detail via a google search. I guess the V200 is more...- TokenGesture
