A review will be coming around the middle of October, current list of gear is:
 
Burson HA-160
Burson HA-160D
Burson DA-160
CEntrance DAC Mini
NuForce Icon HDP
Schiit Lyr
Violectric V200
Violectric V800 (maybe)
Wyred4Sound DAC1
 
Will compare the DACs in that review, don't want to give any impressions just yet.

Looking forward to your review of those Amps. I'm in the market for a reasonably priced DAC and headphone amp to go with the Audeze LCD 2.
 
I've shortlisted the Burson HA-160D, CEntrance DACmini, Schiit Lyr + Bifrost and the Violectric V200. It would be great to hear what you have to report now that you have them in-hand and can pit them directly with each other.

So are you also reviewing the Schiit BiFrost DAC? That is due out next week.

I'm using Little Dot MK6 to drive LCD-2, very serious looking amp, can produce amazing sound with the right tube.
 


Looking good. I'm thinking of picking up this amp, could I just check, what tubes are you currently using?

Unfortunately the Bifrost won't be in the review, sorry.

That's absurd. How could you possibly formulate meaningful conclusions with so many components on hand at once?
