With the LC it really shouldn't matter if I am interpreting correctly, does it not split and balances the single ended signal internally?
Speak for yourself brother, I'm listen to the amp now an its definitely worth the 600 bones
Huge +1 that a bigger price tag doesn't equate to equipment sounding better
You are listening to a prototype - the final product might vary. There is usually a lot of tweaking before the final sign off
If he does make it sound better then the more power to him
Seriously. Don't know many people that tweak prototypes to make the production unit sound worse!
Has anyone who has heard the LC have any thoughts compared to the CL Duet? I realize the Duet is fully portable and the LC is not but curious about overal refinement and sound signature comparisons. Also, any thoughts on the noise floor of the LC with 17 Ohm 117db@1mW sensitive IEM?
I know these questions are a shot in the dark as not to many people have heard the LC, but thought I'd give it a (premature?) ask.
Quick question: Do we have any pictures of the inside of the LC? Jude's video shows some images of a PCB board but it is not explained which is which ….
Who wants Jude to make a whole video about the LC alone? All in favor say AYE
For those that are looking for a DAC thats transportable i've heard good things bout the starting nos dac.
Its basically a Phillips r2r DAC with a passive discrete I/v stage. There's a thread here on head fi people say it's like a baby metrum octave and its battery powered. I was about to buy it but decided to save up for a different DAC. On that note...
I really think that people should consider the gungnir, if for nothing else it's future potential. I was told by the man him self that the yggy tech will reach the lower price options and well I'm hopeful that it would be sooner rather than later
Well I'm using the proto with my CLAS-db. There's better DACs on the market of coarse but in my opinion its a pretty nice pairing
I might just leave the new DAC on the back burner for a few months.
By the way, while other amps of mine are hiss prone the Carbon isn't. I don't think a power conditioner is warranted if you're worried about hiss on your system
Do you have any sensitive IEMs you can try with the CL to assess noise floor? Jude said that the CL was 'very quiet' in this situation, whereas other people have reported hiss...
