"Don’t let the naysayer force you out of this thread. They are showing up EVERYWERE and think that they have the correct answer and the right to preach it, often without even testing/hearing the gear we are talking about (role nr1). Some of them don’t believe in SQ difference in DACs others in AMPs and others in cables. That’s ok by me.
Why they feel the need to ventilate there disbelief of gear they have not heard I cannot understand. It’s like I would I say something about a headphone or speakers I haven’t heard.
If they really believed in the “science” they so often refer to they should be perfectly happy with gears that can be bought at prices far lower than what we are talking about here. Philips for example makes some nice hifi gear with good quality that also measuring well."
+1.
They always seem to crawl out of the woodwork when anyone has a opinion on SQ and cables.
Might stem from the fact that pricing for cables can seem ludicrously high, given that they're just conductive wires wrapped in protective fabric/plastic. I would not debate whether they change the sound of headphones, I have experienced that they can certainly do that in a subtle way (in my case with HD650); the question of whether that different subtle change is better and worth the cost is purely subjective.
In any case, so far I'm really enjoying the LCD-X. I'm glad I waited to finally jump into a pair of Audeze until these were introduced. The weight issue didn't bother me as much as I had expected given everything I had read.
