Don't do that. Once you reach 150 hours you must cryogenically cool it, to lock in the good sounding electrons. The next time you power it up you must leave it on..............forever.:evil:
That sounds more like Yggy! :D

I'm sat hear with my new born. Three and a half days old . Feeding and listening to big single driver headphones. Eclipse T-D speakers . Can wait for my Liquid Carbon to come.
It's 3.30 am and he's happy:slight_smile::slight_smile::slight_smile::slight_smile:.
Congratulations. It's been a while. I can remember Godzilla, and a baby at 3:30am many times.

Thank you. I should of had him 20+ years ago , but that's life:blush:


It;s all good...I'm also an older dad, was 42 when I had my 17 year old, think what I lost in energy, I make up for just in being more settled, and, ahem, mature...:rolleyes:

Only 2.5 days more for break in! Congrats!


Is that 2.5 days for the newborn to break in? (cries smooth out, less harsh...) :D

My youngest is 17 as well, but I'm the opposite of you, I started very young. My oldest is 21. I can't imagine what I'll purchase once they're through university! Might purchase a future run of the Cavalli Liquid Unobtanium! :D

Well, Kudos for everyone who made an early order and waited all this time, i made my order on September and i can hardly wait !!
 
Also, i was wondering how good will the carbon work with line out from a DAP like X5 or ZX2, as i don't have any standalone quality dac..
 
specially ZX2 if anyone owns it, as it has low output voltage and the lineout gives very low volume, i don't know how will this work out, i would normally like to run it from my daps, but if it can't do it any justice, what dac would be good in the range of 300-400$ ?
 
Thanks !

There's a thread for that. :)

Might not be exactly what you are looking for but an interesting read none the less.
 
I have not personally heard the Steath DC-1 but there are one or two that are pairing it with the LC that like it. Its in the range you specified.

I'll test it with my X5's line out later.  I'm sure it will be fine, other than the fact that the DAC in the X5 isn't particularly... to my taste anymore.

I am using the Emotiva Stealth DAC 1 with my LC. It sounds great and I won't be searching for a better dac. The Emotiva has balanced outs and it was on sale for $399.00.

Based on the comments of defbear I also purchased the DC-1. I am happy with it in all respects. A very solid piece of kit.
