Im quite happy with my rig. But It would be Nice to try something Else. The 430had is the best i have tried. But i havent tried cavalli or violectric or any schiit products. Anyone compared the 430had to any of these?
Schitt amps would be a backward step, Violectric 281 is more of a side step.
The LAu is an option if you can find one, very good but is a bit too coloured for me. Forget the massdrop/monoprice ones.
In the same price range, there are not that many options as the 430 is already very good.
I would look at Hugo TT2, I have not heard it yet with the LCD4 though.
Or stick with the 430 and try a better dac like Hugo2 or Yggy, probably the dac is your weakest link.
I'm running the 4s out of a benchmark DAC 3 HGC. Sadly I can't really compare it to other dac/amp combos as it relates to "opening up", but it certainly seems to work quite well for my tastes. Until some magic headphone comes along that is what i'd call "holographic" I cant really see myself needed or wanting any other headphone.
Did your new LCD4 come with the head strap with the holes in it like on the 4z?
If not, they should change to using that one, it is better.
