That I don't know. With the more sterile Fuze via LoD I sliiiightly preferred the D7000 with the Lyr, but only just. Once I compared the Lyr and E9 through the E7 (which has a little warmth), I greatly preferred the D7000 through the E9. Not even a second thought. The musicality of the E9 just suits my preference more. The Lyr is too polite for me with the Denons. Neutralheads would love the Lyr though.
The D7000 sounds SO balanced with the Lyr, I honestly don't see any reason why new pads would be necessary. The Lyr makes the bass so tight and so in line with the rest of sound, any more subdued bass would make them boring, IMHO.
I think the Lyr wants more aggressive and brighter tubes or sources, at least for my personal preference. For the D7000 anyway.
I think a DAC with more refinement but same amount of warmth as the E7 would do the E9 some justice for the Denons.
