How is the MD LCX compares to say Mjolnir2?
Is it a good combo for my Audeze LCD-X ?
Thanks

I'm coming from a Schiit Vali 2 with Modi Multibit and looking at getting a Massdrop x Alex Cavalli Liquid Carbon to pair with HiFiMan He-4xx and Audeze LCD2C, wondering if anyone here had gone a similar route and can comment on the sonic differences please? Thanks!

To my surprise, I found the pcb covered in Aluminum dust that was created by the self threading screws.
Guys,
My LC v2 suffered from SE channel imbalance for a while. The issue was felt when I used SE input. It seemed to behave in a similar fashion as reported in this thread.
I had no issues going balanced input, driving either SE or BAL headphones.
Today I took apart the unit.
I had to pull off the vol knob and undo all but the SE binding post screw on the back.
To my surprise, I found the pcb covered in Aluminum dust that was created by the self threading screws.
More so near the phase splitter / op amp section close to the SE input side right next to the input selection relays.
I brushed off the board off this metal particulate dust, reassembled and sat down for a listen.
The imbalance is gone !!!
No more LR imbalance or degraded sound.
I was actually trying to locate a bad component on the pcb or locate and swap out the phase splitter components, but all it took was an old tooth brush.
I will post pictures if anyone is interested.

I’m definitely interested in pics! I just might do the same to my LC v2 for peace of mind sake.Guys,

Hi,
I had my LC v2 act up again with imbalance.
I switch back n forth between BAL and SE all the time.
Toggling the SE / Bal push switch seems to fix the issue. I guess I still haven’t got to the bottom of this.
Picture of ten SE input components that will need cleaning attached. This area front and back are prone to a lot of Aluminum dust.
I took this pic after I cleaned the board.
