DAVE + Meze Liric..... Brilliant match without breaking the Headphone purse.

I have the Liric in hand for a review as part of the tour. All I can say is this little guy is starting to really impress me. I concur, out of the DAVE, the Liric is very, very good!

To me, best headphone Dave Direct is LCD 5. I have never got my head around the Utopia completely, but the LCD 5 is probably the most transparent headphone I've ever heard - so really benefits from a direct to DAC connection (and, of course, the Dave itself.) I use a touch of EQ (chrono's), and there is no audible compromise. Bass is fast tight and deep, and everything else is like a window - almost electrostat like.

Got the utopia now on my dave but the lcd5 is on my list to try out. Very curious about the sound signature. Got the last farad update for the lps for the dave today. New monitor print with new tweaks and silver shielded dc wires from print to dave board. Also set caps to try as extra to put on the board. Due to long dc wires from farad to dave it could so some better but not sure yet thats to test upcoming week. Will plant some photos when installing.

I would pick the Utopia over the LCD-5 any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Just about anything that's relatively easy to drive will sound sublime out of the Dave. Utopia, LCD-5 and my L3000 have all been great pairings with the Dave.. and they are all very different from each other.
