I'm glad to hear that they offer a lasting appeal. I'm on an Isley Brothers binge right now and I am really loving what I'm hearing.
The Magni + Modi is pretty great with the LCD-2s. It certainly is an awesome rig for most situations (my HE-400s respond well to this setup). I'm actually quite impressed with how it sounds with a $1000 pair of headphones. I'm definitely excited to upgrade the amp and DAC but they sound so good off of this that I'm not in any hurry to make any switches. It will at least make it easier to put any upgrades off until I can afford the Lyr 2 and Bifrost combo. I'm not set on those but they're my current pieces of interest.
Do you (or anybody reading this, for that matter) have any particular recommendations for an amp and DAC combo? I'd like to preserve or enhance the bass response, if that makes any difference.
Regardless of my possible future rig, I'm really loving these headphones with the Magni and Modi. The LCD-2s are every bit as good as I was expecting!
Edit:
This is one of my favorite songs.

The way it sounds on the LCD-2s is quite a treat, indeed. I'm in a great place with these headphones.
Edit again: I just listened to Sail by AWOLNATION. Wow. I can't quit these headphones. I don't think I should like anything as much as I like these.
